Masks among Eskimo peoples
Masks among Eskimo peoples served a variety of functions. Masks were made out of driftwood, animal skins, bones and feathers. They were often painted using bright colors. There are archeological miniature maskettes made of walrus ivory, coming from early Paleo-Eskimo and from early Dorset culture period.〔Hessel & Hessel 1998: 12–13〕
Despite some similarities in the cultures of the Eskimo peoples,〔Kleivan 1985:8〕〔Rasmussen 1965:366 (ch. XXIII)〕〔Rasmussen 1965:166 (ch. XIII)〕〔Rasmussen 1965:110 (ch. VIII)〕〔Mauss 1979〕 their cultural diversity〔Kleivan 1985:26〕 makes it hard to generalise how Eskimos and Inuit used masks. The sustenance, mythology, soul concepts, even the language〔(Lawrence Kaplan: Comparative Yupik and Inuit ) (found on the site of (Alaska Native Language Center ))〕 of the different communities were often very different.
== Early masks ==
Archeological masks have been found from early Paleo-Eskimo and from early Dorset culture period.〔 It is believed that these masks served several functions including being in rituals representing animals in personalized form; 〔Oosten 1997: 90–91〕 being used by shaman in ceremonies relating to spirits (as in the case of a wooden mask from southwestern Alaska);〔Burch & Forman 1988: 90–91〕 it is also suggested that they could be worn during song contest ceremonials.〔Burch & Forman 1988: 30–31〕
