Young woman's coat and inner parka

These two caribou-skin parkas were worn by an unmarried teenager. In winter, during travel or hunting trips, the parka with the fur on the outside, named a qulittaq, was worn over the one with the leather on the outside and the fur against the skin, named an atigi. The atigi was used as an intermediate layer and was worn year-round by young women.

These parkas are similar in style to the coat for a woman with children, but the back pouch is smaller and narrower, since the women who wore them had no children. So the size of the hood and the back pouch would change with the changes in a woman's life: from small at first to very large when she became a mother. This particular double-parka model also stands out because of its straight lines and the right angles of its back flap.

Nowadays, teenagers no longer wear these types of caribou-skin parka. They instead wear coats made of cloth or synthetic fabrics.
