Arctic Discoverer - Jackets.
Though the word ´´parka´´ comes from the Nenets languages of northern Russia (translation:
``animal skin´´), the parka-style jackets actually originated with the Inuit peoples of northern Canada.
The traditional Inuit winter coat, called the amauti, was a hooded pullover jacket made with the skins and furs of Arctic animals such as polar bears, wolves, seals, or caribou, every aspect of the jacket was constructed to protect against sub-zero temperatures and sometimes treated to be water resistant.
The amauti also included an extra pouch under the hood to carry babies and keep them warm, thus, the amauti was more traditionally worn by Inuit women.
