| Summary: | The concept of turning nothing into something or making something into something extraordinary is exactly what Inuit have done for centuries for survival, function and purpose. Using materials from nature, reusing unutilized materials and recycling good materials to creating something useful is a way of life for many in the north. Inuit make things from by-products of hunted animals all the time such as tools, clothing, household items, and even devises for transportation. In this series we see the incredible things made traditionally made by Inuit and how we make and use our creations today. The north is filled with talented artists, some artists are known worldwide. In this episode we will see a variety of art. Johnny Qamaniq will show us how he makes jewelry earrings. Theresa Ukkalianuk will show how she makes a beaded necklace, and then Barbara Akoak will show how she makes earrings out of tulugak (Raven) feet.
