Description

Wooden canoe paddle with long, straight blade. Painted red.

Context

Straight Blade, Southern Quebec Native style Canoe Paddle. This paddle was made by a Stanstead Quebec Abenaki Man. It has the Wabanaki blade-ridge to strengthen the paddle, a detail found on Maine Native paddles, but the pommel and the blade are unlike those more common eastern Wabanaki paddles.
