Inuits were stone-age hunters and gatherers, often on the verge of starvation. Their short height indicates the ever-present malnutrition. They are highly unlikely to posses strength similar to modern day, body-builder like olympic kayaker.One must grant though, that Inuits most likely had lots of endurance and staying power, not to mention superior technical skills.
I guess you must mean "Aleuts" when you say "Inuits".
Your statements contradict each other.
I guess you are also unfamiliar with the fact that the Aleutian Islands are smack dab in the middle of the richest sea and mammal grounds in the world to this day!
The Aleuts lived on the Aleutian Islands and paddled in such rough and stormy seas because the food was so plentiful.
You could learn all about it and all the many foods they consumed all year around by buying the book, "Qaqamiigux" - "Traditional Foods and Recipes from the Aleutian and Pribilof Islands.
