During ANTIQUES ROADSHOW’s 2023 Tour stop at the Alaska Native Heritage Center in Anchorage, we met Paul Asicksick, Cultural Programs Manager, who shared with us several pieces on display–including Inuit snow goggles, Inupiaq battle armor, and a fish skin boot–describing their uses, materials, and cultural significance.
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW’s three episodes from Alaska Native Heritage Center kick off on Monday, Jan 8 at 8/7c on @PBS, the PBS App, and right here on YouTube.

Imagine if white people acted like this, "only we can touch or understand our culture its for us" better be glad we don’t you’d be living in the stone age.
Remarkable innovation in a difficult environment!
Awesome artefacts and well preserved. I have seen very okd photos of Inuit men wearing the bone sunglasses and always thought it was a great idea. Fish skin boots? I had no idea about those but they make perfect sense.
The ingenuity of the ancient peoples is remarkable and thinking of using fish skin to make waterproof boots is something else.
Thank you for this post.
The armor reminds me of the Filipino bamboo armor
Fascinating. I have to visit someday!
This is so cool. I think it’s better to keep the tradition in thrive. Bless you 🙌
