Native Dress


Parkas have changed from a pullover design to one with a front zippered closing, Women's parkas have dropped the front and back u-shaped flap in favor of a short ruffled skirt attached to the bottom, fur lined parkas now are covered with a cloth shell (usually a bright flowered print or cotton velvet), and a cloth version of the old pullover parka (with a two handed pocket), the Kuspuk (also spelled Quaspeq), has become the accepted dress for traditional dancing.
