| Description : | This is an average sized canoe with a wooden frame with birch bark skin. It is painted brown on the outside and green on the inside. |
| Commentaires : | The birch bark canoe was a style of boat that was of great value on the rivers of North America. It is most commonly associated with the aboriginal peoples of northeastern North America. The birch bark canoe can navigate shallow rivers and was very useful for transportation at a time when roads were nonexistent. Aboriginal people of Old Town, Maine may have built this canoe. Old Town, Maine is located just north of Bangor on the Penobscot River. It was the site of aboriginal settlements of the Tarratine tribe long before the arrival of Europeans. A number of people of aboriginal descent remain in the Old Town area to this day. |
