Answer:
Parka
In wintertime we wear parkas, thigh-length jackets consisting of an outer shell (nowadays that's usually nylon or some other manmade fabric), and an inner lining of wool or another manmade fabric. In between the inner and outer shell is down or polyester wadding for warmth. The Inuit people, who invented the parka, made theirs of sealskin, worn with the hair side in.
Tuktu is the Inuit word for caribou - nice to look at, photograph, and, I'm told, in stew, but hard to wear. Similarly, ookpik is the Inuit word for the snowy owl. Nunavut (which means 'our land' in Inuktituk, the Inuit language) is the northern territory lying west and north of the Hudson Bay. It was carved out of the Northwest Territory in 1993 and officially became a separate territory in 1999. It is the fifth largest country sub-division in the world.
