USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -An Eskimo hunter dressed in traditional clothing was completely wrapped in caribou skins. His parka-a hooded jacket invented by Eskimos-was made of caribou skin and worn with the fur inside. For deep cold and storms, a second parka could be worn over the first, with the fur side out.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to physical protection, clothing has also visually communicated information about who they are as a people. Traditional Inuit clothing consisted of a parka, pants and mittens made from caribou or sealskin (worn in one or two layers according to the season), and up to four layers of footwear.

Detailed explanation-3: -Traditional Arctic clothing consists of two layers of caribou skin garments. Caribou skin is used because the hollow hair follicles contain an air bubble; they also trap insulating air. The inner layer has the fur turned inwards towards the skin, while the outer layer has the fur turned outwards.

Detailed explanation-4: -Inuits needed to have thick and warm clothing because of their cold climate. They made their clothing from the natural resources in their environment. They use seal, whale, and caribou skins for their clothing. The fur and skin on the animals are good at keeping in heat.

Detailed explanation-5: -The most basic version of the traditional Inuit outfit consisted of a hooded parka, pants, mittens, inner footwear, and outer boots, all made of animal hide and fur.
