An Ookpik is a popular Inuit handicraft toy. It is a small souvenir owl with large head and
big eyes, a beak, and small black talons. They are often made from wolf fur, sealskin
and other traditional materials. Ukpik is the Inuktitut word for snowy owl.
The Ookpik Waltz was published in 1965 by the late Mission, British Columbia, fiddler
Frankie Rodgers.
It has been recorded by Altan, Aly Bain and Phil Cunningham, The Boys Of The Lough and
others.
I learned this at our Monday night jam.
