Walrus Ivory Carvings

 

" Authentic Native Art.  Indigenous peoples of Northwestern
Alaska still hunt the walrus for meat, using the skin and tusks for clothing and
artwork.  The walrus is not an endangered species.  Only Alaska Natives are allowed
to hunt walrus, or to possess un-worked walrus ivory, which can only be sold after
it has been hand crafted.  Walrus hunting and ivory carving are essential to the
survival of Native peoples in the Bering Sea region."
