Emiu, or Split-the-Wind (1893 – November 23, 1918), was an Iñupiaq Alaska Native, Arctic explorer and musher who guided the Canadian Arctic Expedition, 1913–1916. According to contemporary accounts, Emiu was the member of the expedition who theorized that by preparing and cooking the expedition's rawhide sled lacings, they might have food to survive the expedition. His theory worked, and the expedition reached Banks Island, where they were rescued. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, coordinator of the expedition, paid Emiu $6,500 at the time for his expertise.
