. In Greenland (my personal "Mecca" of
kayaking), each "qajaq" is built from the ground up for a particular
purpose, and proportioned to the body measurements of the individual
paddler. Any boat not built to those particulars is not even a
"qajaq", but "like a qajaq" ("qajariaq"). Melissa

So I've often wondered, What happened when people died or "retired" from
hunting? Surely resources like a qajaq were to precious to discard? What
happened to them?
