The newcomer, Sikusi, (pronounced see-koo-see) is described as an iceworm. He, she or it is about 18 inches long, has horns and a long lolling tongue, and generally looks like a shaggy bottle-brush. Sikusi was created by a group of Eskimo women at Tuktoyaktuk, a community at the mouth of the Mackenzie River. Like Ookpik, the design will be registered and manufacturers will pay a royalty for its use.
