Child’s parka made of bear gut, and trimmed with leather.

The Alutiiq would wear gutskin parkas when in a kayak because the gutskin would keep them dry and warm. Gutskin was often used to protect the wearer or the kayak from evil spirits. Alaskans would use the intestines of different animals, including seals, bears, and walruses, to make the waterproof gutskin.
