Wording

This article seems very un-wikilike. I'm going to change it to sound more like an encyclopedia article. If anyone else also wants to make changes, feel free. Derekristow (talk) 17:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Translations

Kayak means small closed top boat, not man's boat. Umiak means large open top boat, not woman's boat. At least for Inupiat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.193.58.130 (talk) 21:24, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
