Just think, if we can reverse global warming, there will be oosiks for all. After their first owners are done with them, of course.
Actually, AFAIK what you cannot get now due to laws is raw oosik material. If the piece has been worked artistically by an Inuit it is allowed to be sold, so it is possible to get a new oosik club made by a native.
That is, of course, no reason not to work our asses off to reverse global warming!
