Unangan hunting headgear

Unangan hunting headgear are wooden hats associated with the Unangan (eastern dialect) (Unangas, western dialect), the Indigenous peoples of what are currently known as the Aleutian Islands. Also known as bentwood hats, and hunting hats, the headgear take the form as either closed crown conical hats, with long frontal bills; open crown hats, with long bills; or visors with short bills. Closed crown conical hats were historically worn by chiefs, whalers, and high-ranking sea hunters, while open crown hats and visors were worn by regular and lower-rank sea hunters.
