It is commonly
accepted that the canoe as we know it is an adaptation of earlier Native models.
As you may have guessed, there is no single origin or model of the canoe! The
canoe with its various shapes and forms and sizes was a common watercraft of
numerous aboriginal groups on the North American continent and its design characteristics
depended in part on the area of intended use. Some canoes had a high bow and
stern, others had bows and decks partially or completely covered as in a kayak.
East coast canoes or those used on the Great Lakes were large and sturdily crafted
canoes; others used in the interior and on the prairie were small and essentially
single person or even single crossing crafts.
The early model canoes were made of readily available local materials: a light
wooden frame or skeleton (often cedar) with a birch bark exterior or skin. The
canoe was designed to travel the diverse waterways of the continent- from large
lakes to fast and/or shallow, marshy rivers including the possibility of frequent
portages. By necessity, therefore, the canoes had to be light-weight, yet rugged
enough to withstand the often dangerous sections of interior waterways.
