Internationally known Birch Bark canoe builder, icon in the world of native watercraft, woodsman, craftsman, and national treasure, Ferdy Goode talks about the bark canoe at the 2011 kick-off event at the Wisconsin Canoe Heritage Museum.

At approx. 1:15 after explaining he's now crafted over 60 bark canoes in 35 years of work, Ferdy claims that number "...isn't an incredible amount of work or anything..."

I humbly disagree.

What a great history of work, and fantastic to see more exposure.

 

[David McDaniel]

Thank you for carrying on the legacy of our Native Americans!
