Ancient Records Of Canoes Are Found From The Pacific Northwest To The Coast Of Maine, In Minnesota And Mexico, In The Southeast And Across The Caribbean. And If A Native Of Those Distant Times Might Encounter A Canoe Of Our Daywhether Birch Bark Or Dugout Or A Modern Marvel Made Of Carbon Fiberits Silhouette Would Be Instantly Recognizable.
