Transportation style of Inuit :-
The Inuit used a sled with a dog team to travel over the land in the past. They still do use the dog teams but now snowmobiles are more popular. The snowmobile is faster than the dog team, but some people think that the dog team is better because dogs do not run out of fuel.
They used to use kayaks to move on water. Kayaks are a type of boat that has room for only one person. They were made by hand from driftwood and sealskin. The hunter would use a two-ended paddle to steer the boat and hunt whales or swimming caribou as they crossed the rivers.The Inuit people use kayaks, which can only hold one person, and an umiak, which can hold ten or maybe more people. An umiak was an open boat used to move people and belongings rather than for hunting. The kayak glided silently through the water and enabled the hunter to move very close to his prey.
Two kinds of boats were common. The umiak was a large open boat consisting of a wooden frame covered usually with walrus hide; it was used both to transport people and goods and, especially in northern Alaska, to hunt whales
Everywhere the Eskimo depended on the DOGSLED as a mode of winter transportation over both land and the frozen sea. The sled was drawn by 2 to 14 huskies and was usually made from wood; where wood was unavailable (as in certain regions of central Canada), dried salmon was sometimes used as structural material for sleds. In recent years, snowmobiles have largely replaced the dogsled as the Eskimo's primary mode of transportation in many areas.
