Mark Rogers of Superior Kayaks has been a student and teacher of traditonal building techniques of the Inuit and Alute (Greenland style and Baidarka styles). Mark's phone # is 414 732-3784. John Heath has researched a bunch, but I don't know if he is a builder. The Coles are great sources on Greenland paddling and rolling technique, but again, I am uncertain of their involvement in building.
