What was munched is repaired

I thought it was ruined but it’s repaired;

The repair is on the left side. It looks like it’s all one calfskin;

I remember wearing kameksak/piluguq as a child. My mom and dad would put my piluguq on me, rap my leg pants tight around my ankles and slide those warm piluguq on to keep my feet warm. They have done the same for my siblings. In fact, pilugut are hand me down items that can be over 40+ years old. These kameksat/pilugut are used for special occasions or worn everyday. I knew when my great grandma was walking into the house by the sound of her piluguq. Children used them to go sliding down hill – trying to go farther or faster.

The way to use them right is gather golden long wild grass. Wrap the grass around your feet and place grass inside the pikuguq and put them on. Golden grass is warmth for survival when you are wet and far from home.

This specific pikuguq is called ciuqalek. They are size 10.5, narrow calf but roomy around the feet for comfy golden grass. They are comfy for any special occasion;

This ciuqalek are for sale. Contact me if interested.

Here is a picture of my dad and I at great uncle (uppa) Uyaquq’s, late Joseph Lomack’s house, I was wearing piluguq- baby booty;

We all miss you dad every day.
