Sadly, the Inuit don't have that much representation in media, mostly because, well, there aren't that many films set in their territory. I'm currently watching The Terror, which includes an Inuit character, and I suspect that it's probably a fairly accurate look at it, although it might not be saying much since the last time I remember seeing a Hollywood depiction of the Inuit, it looked like this:
At least you can take solace in noticing that, as stereotypical as this is, there are other ethnic groups represented and their portrayal isn't much better.
Still, those parkas look a lot different from the buckskins, beads, and Eagle feathers (or Migratory Bird Act of 1918-friendly substitute thereof) Nobody wears, which I suspect would be even more difficult to find than Western-style clothing, and are certainly something closer to regular Western wear than that (in Chicago's winters, I can actually imagine seeing someone wearing something that looks a lot like that [and for practical reasons, yet!]). And at least you're not a kid anymore.
