This Indigenous People’s Day, we are revisiting the conservation story of a Yup’ik Mask.
Chuna McIntyre, a Yup’ik dancer, offers his expertise to object conservator Caitlin Mahony as she patches this precious mask back together. This driftwood mask originating from Alaska features many symbols and appendages still common within the Yup’ik community. McIntyre unpieces the mask’s many stories as Mahony restores it back to life.
