Eskimo dolls on display at Alaska Native Heritage Center A collection of 45 Yup'ik Eskimo dolls, on loan from Wiona and Charles Browning, will be on display at the Alaska Native Heritage Center through Oct.1, 2001. Dolls by noted artists Ethel Washington, Dolly Spencer and Caroline Penayah are featured, along with work by 20 other doll makers.


Dolls on display at Alaska Native Heritage Center
"These dolls are a wonderful representation of Eskimo cultures and craftsmanship, as well as the Brownings' enduring interest in Alaska Native arts and crafts. I'm just happy to see them on display where everyone can appreciate them as much as I have," said Guy Maclure, who encouraged the Brownings to loan their dolls. Maggie Irrigoo, master artist from Saint Lawrence Island who made a woman's seal skin snowsuit for this year's theme summer, Furs, Feathers and Fiber - Covering Native Alaska Furs, recognized some of the dolls made by Josephine Ungott and Caroline Penayah. The two doll makers are also originally from villages on Saint Lawrence Island. Commenting on a female doll in a fancy parka, Irrigoo pointed out that the parkas were often decorated with auklet crests. However, this practice is no longer possible due to federal laws.
