The individual frame elements are joined by mortise and tenon joints and by use of lashings that pass through drilled holes. The hide cover is made from several pieces of caribou hide with the hair removed. The cover is attached to the frame with sinew passed through holes cut into the skin and wrapped around the gunwales. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/59: The umiaq is a large open boat with a wood frame and a skin covering that was used for transportation and for hunting whales. An umiaq typically was about 10 m in length, 2m wide and about 1 m deep. An umiaq that size could carry a dozen or more people. Umiaqs were well suited to traditional Inuvialuit life. They were a shallow draught watercraft, and could be used in shoals and close to shore without fear of grounding. They had flat bottoms, which made them stable in the water, they could carry large loads and the tough hide covering was difficult to damage. If the covering was damaged, it could be easily repaired with a patch. They were light enough for two people to carry, and could be moved over snow and ice on sleds. Umiaqs were propelled by paddles and with sails made from intestines sewn together. MacFarlane collected models if the original object was too large or too difficult to ship to the Smithsonian Institution.

"The men in this model of a small angyaq wear three kinds of headgear: seal hunting helmets, spruce root hats with tall tops that indicated wealth, and bentwood hunting hats in the form of open-topped cones with slanting brims, a style from the Alaska Peninsula. Sprays of colored yarn depict water thrown back from the surging bow of the boat."Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=2, retrieved 8-29-2012: Umiak model, Sugpiaq (Alutiiq), Koniag; Kodiak Island, Alaska. angyaq "open skin boat" - Language: Koniag Sugpiaq (Kodiak Island dialect).
