The agiarut ( Inuktitut syllabics: ᐊᒋᐊᕈᑦ also known as the Eskimo fiddle) is a bowed instrument native to the Inuit culture of Canada and Alaska.
According to musicologist Beverley Cavanagh, [1] agiarut is the name for a European fiddle, while tautirut is the name for the indigenous bowed box zither. The modern Western fiddle may be referred to as agiaq ("shaman's rubbing stone"). [2]
