When the Inuit people lived exclusively on the land, and before trade with the Europeans, caribou and seal were the main sources of clothing material. The insulating properties of caribou fur made it perfect for protection from the harsh winter cold. Sealskins were preferred for footwear because of its durability and natural water-resistance.
