Despite not using boats themselves, the Blackfoot had words for "to paddle" and for various types of boat.

ahkiohsatsis means a boat or canoe

istsi-ahkiohsatsis means a steamer or paddle-steamer (literally fire-canoe)

omahk-ahkiohsatsis means a larger ship

The main element of all these is ahki-, meaning to sail or paddle.
