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.
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.
