Carly,
I found this link very interesting and perhaps useful to you for insights into first nation navigation:
http://www.sensorystudies.org/inuit-orienting-traveling-along-familiar-horizons/
I very much liked the description of how some young lost travelers found their way by contacting an elder by shortwave and determine the correct direction to travel by describing horizon features relative to the prevailing wind.
