Canoe Construction

Because the region contained many rivers, lakes, and streams, the Indians became expert craftsmen of the canoe. It was important that the canoes be durable because they were used for hunting, travel, trades, and in times of war. Canoes were constructed by a team of two men and four women. The construction lasted from 10 to 21 days. The materials used were wet, soft birch wood for the sides and bottom. Spruce rootlets were sewn together and boiled spruce gum to glue the pieces in place.
