Acquired and used by RCMP Inspector "Nordie" and Leona Kirk while posted to Aklavik, Northwest Territories from July 1945 to July 1948.
3 delightful items made by Martha Stewart, the wife of Special Constable Andrew Stewart:
- a pair of moose hide and beaver fur mittens decorated with floral embroidery and lined with duffle with a braided yarn cord attached for hanging.
- and two pairs of moose hide, stroud and beaver fur mukluks. Covered with cotton fabric and hand-worked with embroidery and rick-rack.
The Kirk Collection is housed by the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.
(I love the name Cyril)
