Penobscot Nation - Birchbark construction video

LOVES Wooden Canoes
"In 2005 Chief Barry Dana of the Penobscot Indian Nation hired Steve Cayard (a white man) to teach the tribe how to build a birch bark canoe. The last birch bark canoe had been built 80 years before that."

Nice video for a chilly, snowy morning here in Chicago... :rolleyes:
