Canoe Building Is
Nearly A Lost Art
Amongst Indians
(Continued From Page One)
he cut it the length he desir
ed his boat to be. This took
him several days. Next he
started to clean it and shape
it like a doublebowed boat.
Here was another day’s hard
work for the couple. In the
evenings he sang Salvation
Army songs with his wife.
Some times he sang the old
Indian songs brought down
from father to son for gener
ations.
Another day he tackled his
boat once more. This time he
had use for only one tool.
The tool was the most import
ant of all the tools he possess
ed. It was invented long be
fore Christ was born and its
first use is unknown. First it
was made out of stone. As
the natives advanced they
made it out of iron with a nice
smooth handle. With this tool
the adz, he began to chop and
dig at the tough, oily cedar,
day after day until the next
spring when he went to his
village and returned with a
number of men and boys to
help drag the canoe to water.
He tried to imagine how the
vessel would look when it
was completed. At the time
it was taken to the water it
was only half done and rough
all over, being about one foot
thick in the bottom to keep
it from cracking when it was
hauled over trees and stones.
It was very heavy but it was
dragged down to the beach by
man power alone. It was then
towed to town, where I visit
ed him occasionally. The first
day I saw nothing but fire. I
believed it had caught fire and
ran to his assistance. He told
me this was the way to make
it level and even inside the
canoe. Then he took a plane
and planed both inside and
out and it was one of the
smoothest, neatest jobs I ev
er saw.
After the inside was fired
:
to his satisfaction, he started
on the outside, chipping and
burning a little here and
there until the whole boat did
not vary an inch. And this
was all done by eye alone.
When completed it rode the
water like a swan, and would
stand seas that would swamp
a modern boat.
But canoe building, like the
totem pole, is rapidly becom
ing a lost art, only some of
the older men preferring the
old style boat to the white
man’s craft.
