#33 What can we learn from hand crafter 100 years old kayak?

One of the oldest surviving Inuit kayaks has returned to Canada after spending centuries in the Vatican Museums. What can a hand-crafted kayak, built more than 100 years ago, teach us today?In this episode, I speak with Darrel Nasogaluak of Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, who was the person that identified the kayak. Drawing on the traditional knowledge passed down by his grandfather, Darrel recognized unique construction details that revealed the kayak's origins. He shares how this remarkable vessel was built, how it was used, and what it tells us about the craftsmanship, culture, and life on the water, in this rich area over a century ago.We wrap up the episode with a special performance recorded at the 2025 Beluga Summit:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJSJ8Hr0RZ8&list=PLorCqAj2t42DwgJVKC4eWZ5QBeTRZ2Upt&index=3
