The purpose of this blog is to bring insights on the Native Alaskan harpoon. I hope to explain the traditional use and type of scenarios that a hunter is in while using the harpoon.

Another important part of the harpoon that I wanted to add was the Angyaq (Open skinned boat). In the top picture you can see a couple of elders in training, getting the urge to hunt from a young age the two are eagerly waiting to get out onto the pack ice like the youngster taking it a step further in the bottom picture. The Angyaq is a major part of the Native peoples life, as it is means of hunting and bringing food home to their families.
