Best Answer

They were made of bones,feathers and other body parts of animals, but basically the base is made of wood. The Inuit believed that the characteristic of the animal which is designed in the mask, will be transferred to the user of the mask.

So example if someone wears a mask which looks like an owl with feathers attached to it, the Inuit believed that the wisdom of the owl would be transferred to the user.
