Inuit Skin Clothing
The native people of the arctic have adapted to
the extreme temperatures by utilizing the skins of the animals in the area they
live in. In arctic Canada, where I am, the Copper and Caribou Inuit utilize
caribou, seal, wolf, wolverine, and fox skins. They have two layers of caribou
skin clothing, the inner layer with the hair on the inside and the outer layer
with the hair to the outside. Mitts were also made out of skins and boots or
Kamiks were made from seal skin or caribou. They also had inner stockings inner
slipper and outer slipper. In the following pictures I am wearing a caribou
parka, polar bear pants, and caribou kamiks and the gloves are beaver. Polar
bear clothing is utilized farther east and in Greenland.
I borrowed the caribou parka from Attima Hadlari and the polar bear pants from
Brent Body.
