Inuit Finger Masks: Mask-making is a traditional Inuit craft. Masks are used in ceremonies and Eskimo festivals. The Inuit people live in northern Canada, Greenland, Alaska, and Siberia. Often women dancers wear little finger masks which are carved out of wood and may have feathers on them. The women wave their hands around during the dance and move to the rhythm of the music.
