JANICE SINNOK

“I came here from Shishmaref for the ball games. My boyfriend is playing. He is the one who lost his tooth earlier when he got elbowed!

I have seal skin and sea otter hats, a men’s and a kid’s and I have women’s mittens made with seal skin and beaver [for sale]. I learned how to sew from my dad. He is a bilingual (Inupiaq and English) teacher. He taught me when I was in the 9th grade, then I taught my mom how, too.” — Janice Sinnok is Inupiaq from Shishmaref, Alaska and was photographed in White Moutain, Alaska.
