Inuit ocean hunters used animal skin boats called <em>qajait</em> which
|
|
|
105 |
were extraordinarily buoyant. European travelers copied the
|
|
|
106 |
properties of the boats along with the name, thus the creation of
|
|
|
107 |
the <em>kayak</em>. Inuit also made <em>umiaq</em>, a larger
|
|
|
108 |
version of the kayak.

Dog sleds were the primary means of land travel - in Inuktitut,
|
|
|
114 |
<em>qamutiit</em>, singular <em>qamutiq</em>. The husky
|
|
|
115 |
dog breed comes from Inuit breeding of dogs for transportation.

Inuit used the natural landscape to navigate on land. Where natural
|
|
|
121 |
landmarks were insufficient, the Inuit would erect an <em>inukshuk</em>, a
|
|
|
122 |
stone landmark used as a milestone or directional marker. These
|
|
|
123 |
stone markers were created in the figure of a man.
