Anguttuaq

Anguttuaq is an Inuktitut word primarily used in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut, Canada. It refers to a type of small sled, often used by children for play or for carrying light loads. The term distinguishes it from larger, more robust qamutik sleds used for transportation over long distances and by dog teams. Anguttuat are typically simpler in design and construction compared to qamutik. The size and materials used to construct an anguttuaq can vary, but they are generally smaller and lighter, making them easier for a child to manage.
