The word "amauti" is an Inuit term referring to a traditional parka-like garment worn by Inuit women. It has a large hood with a fur ruff, usually made from coyote or wolf fur, and is typically made from caribou or seal skin. Colloquially, it is referred to as an "Inuit parka" or "kuspuk" in some regions. Other synonyms for amauti include "anorak" or "parka" in English, "Kallittaq" in Inuktitut, and "ukluk" in Yupik. Regardless of what it's called, the amauti is an important part of Inuit culture and history, often passed down from generation to generation.
