To the untrained eye, the ceremonial bear gut parka Linda Selanoff recently helped create looks reminiscent of a clear plastic rain jacket. June Pardue showed participants how to prepare and sew this bear intestine into a parka. Pardue led the group in creating this latest bear gut parka, showing them the process just as her elders taught her. Joyce Kompkoff Peterson, left, and Diane Selanoff examine the parka's sleeve.
