People (unidentified) celebrating maskalataq in Port Graham.

"One of the main traditions of maskalataqing is to not show any skin. It involves changing attire completely. Some used rubber masks but often nowadays they use cloth masks. It was very much about using old clothes and outfits to dance around and be goofy and be yourself." - Ephimia Moonin-Wilson, Port Graham
