This is an example of an Inuit applique wall hanging by Normee Ekoomiak. It is made of felt sewed to other material. It show Okpik-the lucky charm that means a snowy owl. There is also a man with a husky and a spear, a polar bear, and a woman with a baby. This was important to the Inuit because Okpik watches over the Inuit when they go hunting and takes care of the animals.

This is my applique wall hanging. I made it out of felt, fleece, thread and a needle. It shows an Arctic fox and a lemming. I made it because Arctic fox are an important part of the food chain in the tundra.
