Nakasuk

Nakasuk is an Inuktitut word, primarily used in the Nunavut territory of Canada, meaning "hat." It refers to a head covering worn for protection from the elements, particularly cold weather. Hats of varying styles and materials are traditionally made by Inuit people, often from animal skins like caribou or sealskin, and trimmed with fur for added insulation. The term "Nakasuk" is widely understood and used within Inuktitut-speaking communities in Nunavut to refer to any type of hat. Functionality and warmth are the primary considerations in the design and construction of a Nakasuk.
