I got to go to the Anchorage Art Museum. It was fun. I learned that the Aleuts make shirts out of seal gut. They make arrows out of wood, bone, sinew, commercial thread, wool, yarn, feathers, ocher, rawhide, and gut. They make bows out of wood, sinew, wool, yarn, and fabric.

The manager let me try on real Aleut clothes. When I put on the jacket and the hat it felt like I was going to an Aleut village. When I went into the Aleut area that made me feel like I was a real Aleut. The villages stretch thirteen hundred miles towards the Anchorage Peninsula. They sang while they were hunting. There was a stone lantern to keep warm while hunting. Do you think that they had fear while hunting? They painted the bottom of the boats with seal blood to attract seals. We also got to touch a real beaver fur. It was very soft and warm. We took pictures with QuickTake camera to put into the Aleut website. This was so when people went into the Aleut website they could see all the sides of an real aleut hunting hat.

I also got to see a mask made by a man named Fred Anderson. He made it in 1974. It's an old mask.
