Q: |
Why do you require my phone number for online transactions? |

To process any online transaction we require a valid telephone number to
allow our staff to verify the order and to contact you, if necessary,
regarding any significant issues with your order. |

Q: |
Why do you require my e-mail address? |

A: |
We require your e-mail address in order to facillitate contacting you regarding your order, supplying you with order confirmation or to inform you of item availability issues. We also need your e-mail address in order to supply you with tracking information for your order sent directly via the Canada Post On-line Shipping Tool. We will not give out your e-mail address to anyone else, and we will not send you junk e-mail. We do occasionally (but not often) send notifications about items we feel would be of interest to you. You can opt out of this service by contacting us at any time. |

Q: |
Are your arts and crafts authentic Inuit-made? |
| |
A: |
All of the arts and crafts offerings available on our web site are hand-made by Inuit artisans residing in the hamlet of Pangnirtung, Baffin Island, Nunavut. Every hand-crafted item comes with two tags of authenticity, our own Uqqurmiut tag and the official Government of Canada "Igloo" tag, certifying Inuit authenticity. Items are made either directly in the production facilities of the Uqqurmiut Centre for Arts & Crafts or in the private homes of Inuit women and men.
