A kayak, believed to be between 100 and 125 years old, was unveiled at the Canadian Museum of History Tuesday, along with 61 other Indigenous artifacts.
“This kayak would have been used for beluga hunting,” says Natan Obed, President of Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami, an organization that works to improve the health and wellbeing of Inuit in Canada through research, advocacy, public outreach and education.
“This would have been one of the most essential tools that an Inuit hunter would have to be able to care for himself and his community.”
