The Inuit traditionally traveled in two main types of boats: the kayak and the umiak. The kayak, a small, narrow vessel covered with animal skins, was designed for individual use and was often used for hunting and fishing in icy waters. The umiak, larger and open, was typically used for family or group transport and for carrying goods. Both boats were expertly crafted to navigate the challenging Arctic environments.
