Identified there: "Pair of white fur mittens. Turner collected these Inuit-made mittens at Ft. Chimo, probably in 1883. Turner noted gender-based belief systems related to the wearing of furs: "No man would debase himself by wearing a particle of the fur of the hare or of the white fox ... Either sex may wear the skins of all other mammals, but, at times, under restrictions based upon superstition [sic]."
