Betty Elias is an Inuvialuk seamstress and crafter from Tuktoyaktuk. She uses furs and hides to create clothing and souvenir items for visitors to the community. Betty enjoys conversing with visitors about Inuvialuit culture and sharing about the different furs she uses on her Tuktoyaktuk ornaments and Inuit hand puppets. Sewing brings Betty joy and she is grateful to her mother and grandmother who inspired her to continue their work.
