Once an essential vessel for travel and for hunting large prey like bowhead whales, the umiaq has been replaced in modern times by canoes powered with outboard motors.&nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>Over the course of working together on the boat, the elders recount astonishing stories of survival while navigating volatile and unforgiving Arctic waters, and of dangers both natural and man-made. Shot against the magnificent backdrop of the northern landscape, <i>Umiaq Skin Boat</i> bears witness to the resilience of the Inuit spirit in changing times.</div><br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/weetaluktuk-jobie-c799all.aspx">Weetaluktuk, Jobie</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
