Summary

Description
English: String figure of Inuit (sketch of H. Kluschak). According to
  • Jayne, Caroline Furness (1906/1962), String Figures and How to Make Them, p.xix. ISBN 0-486-20152-X. "Klutschak (pp. 136–139) found even old men of King William Land playing it with reindeer sinews. They showed him 139 named figures; of these he gives 3 illustrations, Tuktuk (Reindeer), Amau (Wolf), and Kakbik (Pig). Andree very truly points out that there is no pig in this region, but his suggestion that the natives learned the game from Europeans ("Nordmen") is untenable. Tenicheff (p. 153) copies the first two of the figures, but does not say what they are meant to represent nor where he obtained them."
the figures, reindeer, wolf, and pig, where collected by Klutschak from old men in King William Land.
