I have read several places about the anthropometric measuring system  
with Greenland kayaks and have heard about this same system being  
used on the baidarka. But I'm having problems finding anything  
concrete on the baidarka side.

Did the Aleuts and the Inuits use the same measuring system or is  
this something that we modern builders are adapting on our own? It  
seems hard to believe they would have used the exact same system.
