This seemingly simple watercraft allowed coastal First Nations to hunt on the open ocean and early explorers to travel the province's many waterways. Always at the crossroads of canoe culture, BC today is home to innovative artists and designers who have rediscovered ancient canoe-building techniques, as well as community leaders who see the canoe's potential to bring people together in exciting, inspiring ways. The book chronicles the evolution of the canoe and its impact on the various people who used it to explore, hunt, trade, fight, race, create, and even heal. Dozens of stories of colourful, passionate people who have contributed to the province's canoe culture. Canoe Crossings will appeal to anyone who has ever sought adventure, found solace, or seen beauty in a canoe or wondered about the origins of its design"--Provided by publisher. ER -
