Although Inuvialuit obtained naturally-occuring copper through trade with Copper Inuit, these bracelets most likely were made from copper wire obtained from the Hudson's Bay Company. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/13: Bracelets made from copper, brass or iron wire were commonly worn by women in the Western Arctic, and sometimes several were worn on the same wrist. Bone, antler and ivory pendants sewn around the cuffs of gloves also formed a type of bracelet.
