Description

This study examines Eastern Cree canoe construction from a variety of anthropological and historical perspectives. The fully detailed and illustrated technical aspects of canoe construction are combined with a description of the social and economic factors, the canoe builder’s view of these activities through myth and song and a discussion of the continuity and change in all aspects of traditional canoe construction.
