We are especially proud to be <strong>Makivik</strong> Corporation’s newest<br />
subsidiary company, and are honoured to operate alongside other<br />
Inuit-owned northern businesses that have shown dedication<br />
and commitment to Inuit ingenuity and leadership over the past<br />
25 years since <strong>Makivik</strong> was formed.<br />
Nunavik Creations<br />
geared up for the tourist<br />
season in Kuujjuaq<br />
by busily pur chasing<br />
products as well as making<br />
new and dif ferent<br />
products in our sewing<br />
centres. We introduced<br />

Ladies from among the <strong>Makivik</strong> staff<br />
pose wearing Nunavik Creations coats.<br />
opportunity to purchase smaller mementos to bring home to their<br />
families. We realize, as with any retail outlet, that it is necessary<br />
to keep smaller, less expensive items stocked in the store.<br />
May and June were busy months for the sewing centres as<br />
all the seamstresses attended a sewing workshop in Kuujjuaq.<br />
They were also treated to a demonstration from tanning expert<br />
Daniel Lemelin at the Nunavik Furs tannery, on how to block and<br />
stretch sealskins. This procedure gives a more uniform look to<br />
the sealskin, as well as helping to soften them. Skins that have<br />
been blocked and stretched produce a better-quality finished garment.<br />
The centres also completed a large order for sealskin vests<br />
for the Air Inuit board of<br />
directors as well as an<br />
order for uniforms for Air<br />
Inuit ticket agents.<br />
A f t e r t h e s u m -<br />
mer vacation, Nunavik<br />
Creations also introduced<br />
a line of T-shir ts<br />
and hats with the Nunavik<br />
Creations logo and ar t-<br />
work from Sammy Kudluk.<br />
We have been frequently<br />
asked by customers to<br />
have T-shirts and other paraphernalia in stock similar to our decorative<br />
candles, which are a huge seller.<br />
Upcoming major projects for in the fall include the possibility<br />
of making flight suits for the Air Inuit pilots. Meanwhile, the sewing<br />
centres will also be busy filling in individual orders for parkas,<br />
amautiks and silapaqs.<br />
