Inuit canoe (5)
I believe the answer is:
kayak
'inuit canoe' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for kayak that I've seen before include "A palindromic canoe for eskimo" , "Inuit's light canoe" , "Small canoe - a palindrome" , "Small canoe used by Eskimo" , "Type of canoe" .)
