This object has the following keywords:
- carvings - Refers to works executed by cutting a figure or design out of a solid material such as stone or wood. It typically refers to works that are relatively small in size, are part of a larger work, or are not considered art. For large and medium-sized three-dimensional works of art, use the broader term "sculpture" or another appropriate term.
- hunting - The action or practice of chasing, and usually killing, game or other wild animals, for sustenance, profit, or sport.
- kayaks - Specifically used for single-seat native arctic North American canoes with watertight skin covers over a light wooden framework propelled by a double-bladed paddle, and generally for small boats resembling these made commercially of a variety of materials and used in sports. For similar North American skin boats but larger and seating more than one person, use "umiaks."
- models - Refers to scaled or lifesize representations of objects, structures, beings, or other subjects, usually three-dimensional.
- Native American - Typically reserved to refer narrowly to the cultures of the native peoples of the United States and Canada, excluding the Eskimos and Aleuts. For the indigenous peoples of Canada use the term "First Nations." For the broader concept of the cultures of any native peoples of Central America, South America, North America, or the West Indies who are considered to belong to the Mongoloid division of the human species, use "Amerindian (culture)."
- wood - The principal tissue of trees and other plants that provides both strength and a means of conducting nutrients. Wood is one of the most versatile materials known.
