Kan en Umiaq flyve! og mange flere informationer
Another Prediction of the Airplane
Alaskool.org
Another thing which Maniixauraq mentioned was also mentioned by my namesake. Forty years before any airplanes ever came, she said to me, "Ataaluuf, there is a large umiaq," she called it a large umiaq, meaning a skin boat, instead of something to fly in. "A large umiaq which travels by itself will come while you are still living. It travels through the air much as a ship travels on the water. You will ride in this large umiaq before you die and you will even eat leisurely in it." I believed her to have known some of the future. This woman knew somehow, but how, I do not know.
