Seattle: University of Washington Press. It is indicated there that "Martina [Aparezuk] identified it as a woman's parka and said that it had been made from the skins of nacaullget (emperor geese) and neqleret (white-fronted geese) as well as tuutangayiit (cackling Canada geese). ... a cackling Canada goose skin had been used to make the sleeve, and its kegginaraa (face opening) was made from the skin of a white-fronted goose." "Looking at the parka's shallow face opening, made from the skin of a white-fronted goose, the women [Martina Aparezuk and Albertina Dull] agreed that the parka was probably worn with the feathers on the inside but might also have been reversible."
