i think this is a great idea
the Yupik and Inuit people are going to hunt seals whether the western countrys ban it or not so it makes perfect sense for them to use this by-product of there food hunting techniques and sell it to a country that will actually cherish the quality and use the material rather than go to waste

i still don't get why there's all the fuss with seals considering we eat animals that have been treated far worse than a some seals
