Welcome to Canada's newest territory! Nunavut, "Our Land", where fiords grace the landscape, polar bears roam the floe edge and Northern Lights dance in the sky. The birth of Nunavut in 1999 gave the Inuit of Canada's eastern and central Arctic an opportunity to proudly showcase their culture and land well into the new millennium. Encompassing an area of 2.1 million square kilometers -- that's 1/4 the size of the United States -- Nunavut truly has something for everyone! Canadiana Collections, working with the Nunavut Development Corporation, is proud to be able to offer some special Nunavut Collections that are all hand-made by various artisans of the True North. We have provided a map of Nunavut so that you can discover for yourself the origin of the treasures we offer. Can you find Taloyoak on this map?

Taloyoak Packing Dolls
The community of Taloyoak is the home of the late renowned doll-maker Peeteekootee. The dolls in the Limited Edition Nunavut Packing Doll Collection are her original designs and are now created by her former friends in this tiny settlement of approximately 750 Inuit. Each doll is handmade from 100% wool duffel and each doll is dressed in a hand-embrodiered duffel "amauti" (parka), with its baby packed away in the hood. Each packing doll represents an authentic textile sculpture and is individually signed in inuit script by the artist. To this day, mothers carry their babies in the hood of their parkas as baby carriages and strollers don't work too well on ice and snow! Please note that the Polar Bear doll with a real sealskin "amauti" can ONLY be sold to residents of Canada.
