Did you know Ookpik is the traditional Inuktitut word for Snowy Owl? First made by indigenous artists in northern Quebec in the 60s, these little owl dolls became a quick cultural icon, and even served as major mascot for Montreal’s Expo ‘67!
We have 2 Ookpiks left in stock in-store!! Locally made by indigenous artists using leather and seal fur, these little owls make the perfect local gift to bring back with you from your Newfoundland travels!
Want a little Ookpik friend of your own? Drop in to Wild Things at 124 Water Street from 9-7 every day of the week, or shop online 24/7 at wildlands.com/wild-things to have one flown to your home!! 🦉 🦉 🦉
