Question

Haida warriors used rope tied to stone rings to destroy these objects. The “Ti’at Society” preserves a tradition of creating these objects traditionally formed by a “brotherhood” of the Chumash (“CHOO-mosh”) people, called a tomol. A 2005 study by Klar and Jones used linguistic evidence to claim that these objects were brought to California by Hawaiians. “Pullers” (10[1])used ax̱áa (10[1])(“uh-KHAH”) to maneuver these objects among the Tlingit, (10[1])who encountered Russian and Aleut forces using a variant of these objects called (-5[1])baidarka at the Battle of Sitka. Swinomish people helped students from the University of Washington practice racing (10[1])these objects before their 1936 Olympic gold medal. (-5[1])Protrusions for stability were not included in the Native Californian “dugout” type (10[1])of these objects. For 10 points, Native Hawaiians used “outrigger” examples of what seafaring vessels? ■END■ (10[2])

ANSWER: canoes [or yaakw; accept kayak or iqyax; accept tomol or baidarka until read; prompt on boats or The Boys in the Boat; reject “ships”]
