USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Thousands of years ago in the High Arctic, Inuit hunters invented the lightweight qajaq (or kayak, depending on the Arctic region) so they could more easily harvest seals and whales out on the water.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -For over 2, 000 years, the Inuit have used kayaks for traveling and hunting expeditions, except for the most northerly polar Inuit. Essentially a one-person, closed-deck hunting craft, it was employed occasionally for the transport of goods.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kayaks (Inuktitut: qajaq ( Inuktitut pronunciation: [qaˈjaq]), Yup’ik: qayaq (from qai-“surface; top"), Aleut: Iqyax) were originally developed by the Inuit, Yup’ik, and Aleut.
