  Besides they did not have fiberglass, kevlar or plastic to work with . If
they did maybe we would be paddling a lot of different types of boat with
who knows what kinda of paddles, besides the eskimos use out- board motors
now so much for culture( may be they would of used them to if they were
around, they ain't stupid they use what works, you know a thousand years of
trail and error)
