An Eskimo boat is a type of watercraft used by the Inuit people of the Arctic region. The three most common types of Eskimo boats are the Umiak, KAYAK, and Kamik. The Umiak is a large open boat made from driftwood or whalebone and covered with animal skins. The KAYAK is a small, light, and maneuverable boat made from wood and covered with animal skins. The Kamik is a waterproof boot made from sealskin. All three of these boats are used for transportation, hunting, and fishing.
