Does anyone have any idea what species of tree the hardwood called "sisattaq" refers to? Google is no help. 24.23.177.218 (talk) 22:52, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of telluric iron use

[edit]

This article seems to falsely(?) state that ulus weren't made of iron until the late 1800s due to lack of technology, when apparently they were made of naturally occurring telluric iron for thousands of years prior. That article cites:
