Traditional Qayaq Build

Description

This film features master qayaq builder Joseph Tabios and his son, Kris Tabios, as they build a traditional Sugpiaq qayaq (kayak).

This traditional qayaq was built in a partnership between Chugachmiut Heritage Preservation and Kenai Fjords National Park. It now proudly hangs in the Kenai Fjords National Park Visitor Center in Seward, Alaska.
