Wood and birch bark canoeUse
Model sold for the tourist tradeContext
This small canoe from Western New Hampshire is almost identical in construction to the common “Odanak Abenaki” model canoes sold by the ten thousand all over the Northeast and are still being made to this day. However, this one lacks the decking that is characteristic of the Odanak style that makes them almost look like a kayak. It is unclear whether this is an earlier, American Abenaki style, or a geographic variation, even if there are any others made in this style.Acquisition
