An Umiak is a large open boat made of animal skins stretched over a wooden frame. The boat is traditionally used for whaling and carrying families on seasonal moves. The boat is flat bottomed unlike a kayak and is much more stable on the ocean. These boats are not used as much anymore except for ceremonial hunts.
