From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Inuit weapons were primarily hunting tools which served a dual purpose as weapons, whether against other Inuit groups or against the Inuit's traditional enemies, the Chipewyan, Dogrib Athapaskans, and East Cree.^[1]

The bows carried by the Inuit were distinctive in that some were cable-backed bows, where the tensile strength of the bow was supplemented by wrapped cord.
