Detailed explanation-1: -Kayaks have been used by the Inuit for thousands of years. Few sources of food in the harsh Arctic climate required traveling out to sea where some of the largest sources of protein live. A sturdy and nimble boat was essential for a successful hunt, so the Inuit turned to animal skins to build their desired design.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Inuit people were the first ones to create a rudimentary form of kayaks. Also, the Aleut tribes were known for building kayaks and using them to travel across water. These tribes were located in the Arctic North America.

Detailed explanation-4: -The first kayaks were rudimentary designs built approximately 5, 000 years ago by the Inuit and Aleut people to travel swiftly across the water. Located in the Artic North America, these tribes would construct the kayaks out of whatever types of material they could find, including animal skins, bones and wood.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Inuit tribe, living in the arctic, invented the kayak for hunting and transportation.
