Kuvianak Innovia - Alaska On Inner Birch Bark Cube Ornament

Merry Christmas from Alaska. A digital recreation of a silhouette map of Alaska formed by carefully scraping off the reddish outer surface on the reverse side of birch bark (Betula papyrifera) to reveal the lighter, yellowish layer beneath. Text reading "ᑯᕕᐊᓇᒃ ᐃᓄᕕᐊ" (Kuvianak Innovia - Merry Christmas), in the syllabic alphabet adopted in Nunavut, also appears. Add your own additional text.This is a traditional craft among Native Americans/First Nations across the northern United States and Canada. The Inuit are commonly referred to as Eskimo, but that term is now disfavored as it is considered to be pejorative.
