You might want to do some reading on the cultural appropriation of Native Alaskan's dress. It's not really a done thing these days. Chances are, you won't run into a Native person on Purim, but that's not really the point.

I would buy a brown sweatshirt and sweat pants and sew/glue fur on the edges of the sleeves, hood, pants from the knees down, and pocket

I would like if a neighbour dressed as a yid for carnival. But again I'm chilled Euro. It's very done here.
Very cool idea, btw. I suggest fish 'sardines (??) for MMs, as well as ice something.

if op is worried about this issue, maybe her kids would like to be an arctic/antartic explorer.

DD is going to be an arctic wolf for Purim. Ears, tail, and fuzzy jacket.

If that's the case they can dress as Perry, Shackleton or Amundsen, or the hundreds of other polar explorers. (FWIW there are no native people at the South Pole, unless the are part of the polar station crew.)

right but explorers and a native alaskan likely wear pretty similar clothing. Especially a victorian explorer. (nowadays I imagine it is all high tech and brightly coloured)
OP don't forget purim is quite late this year, it might be warm.

Here's the way it was explained to me. If someone steps on your toes, you can say "Oh, I don't mind. I'm wearing steel toed boots. It doesn't hurt at all."
If someone else says "Ow, you're stepping on my toes! Please stop." then the polite thing to do is to not step on them.
Do not tell them that just because you're fine with something, that means that they have to be fine with it, too.
I have a friend who is Native Alaskan, and she is fiercely protective of her culture - especially given that there's so little left of it. When other people use it as a dress up costume, it "hurts her toes", so please don't.

The Shackleton team and most other teams wore clothing manufactured and designed for their explorations. Filson and Woolrich were two American companies who did major outfitting for polar explorers of the time. During the great age of polar exploration outfitters vied for the chance to have their clothing used on expeditions.
Recently (past 4 years) Henry Worsley attempted to cross the ice field replicating Shackletons trek in period clothing. There is a good video documenting the journey on Hulu. At an early point it was determined that it would be suicidal for Worsley and his crew to attempt the trek across the ice in historically accurate clothing. (Unfortunately Worsely recently died on his last expedition.)
