About Mukluks
Mukluks or Kamik (singular: kamak) are a soft boot traditionally made of reindeer skin or sealskin and were originally worn by Arctic natives, including the Inuit and Yupik. The term mukluk is often used for any soft boot designed for cold weather and modern designs are often similar to high-top athletic shoes. The word "mukluk" is of Yupik origin, from maklak, the Bearded Seal, while "kamik" is an Inuit word. Today, they not only perform the same protective function but also symbolize the history, pride and heritage of the First Nations people of Canada. Mukluks weigh little and allow hunters to move very quietly.
