Inuit weapons were primarily hunting tools which served a dual purpose as weapons, whether against other Inuit groups or against their traditional enemies, the Chipewyan, Tłı̨chǫ (Dogrib), Dene, and 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.
