Description
Summary:adikey n The men wear cloth trousers except in the very cold weather, when they don their deer or seal skins. Their adikey or koolutuk reaches half way to their knees, and is cut square around. The hood of course, in their case, is only large enough to cover the head. It mught be of interest to explain that if this garment is made of cloth it is an _adikey_; if of deerskin, a _koolutuk_, and if made of sealskin, a _netsek_ - all cut alike. If they wear two cloth garments at the same time, as is usually the case, the inner one only is an adikey, the outer one a silapak. [see 'dickey', 'dicky'] PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit G.M.
