Arctic Indians, particularly the Inuit, traditionally constructed their kayaks using wood frames covered with animal skins, such as seal or whale hide. The frame was often made from lightweight materials like driftwood or bone, allowing for agility and ease of movement on the water. The skins were carefully sewn together and treated with oils to make them waterproof, ensuring the kayaks were both functional and durable for hunting and transportation in icy waters.
