Ancient records of canoes are found from the Pacific Northwest to the coast of Maine, in Wisconsin and Mexico, in the Southeast and across the Caribbean. If a person of distant times would encounter today's canoe - whether birch bark, dugout or Kevlar and carbon fiber - its silhouette would be instantly recognizable. This is the story of that singular American artifact, so little changed over time, of canoes old and new and the people who made them.
