Ninth in a series of 11 videos from the Jayhawk Institute describing how to make a traditional Northwest Coast Indian Canoe from a cedar tree or log. The Canoe Legacy Project provides insights into both traditional and modern techniques of how to shape, carve and steam (spread) the cedar log into an elegant seaworthy canoe. A Salish style canoe, typically used on the quiet waters of The Salish Sea (incl. Puget Sound) was chosen for the project.
This section deals with how to spread a canoe and is undoubtedly the most exciting phase of the canoe making process. The day long process typically draws a large crowd and requires a good sized crew to complete all the tasks. The pace quickens when the thin side walls are spread apart and the stresses created result in a number of cracks. While some of the cracks seem disastrous to the casual observer, there is usually a remedy, if dealt with quickly. Spreading does more than just widen the canoe. While the sides spread outward, the bow and stern move upward and the bottom (reverse rocker) moves down. This was taken into account during the carving phases prior to spreading. (see 4-Scale Model & Drawing", "5- Establishing the Gunwale Line" and "6-Shaping the Exterior")
The NW Coast Canoe Video series is supported and partially funded by the Suquamish, Port Gamble S'Klallam and Puyallup Tribes.
The Suquamish Museum has a 300 year-old Salish Style Canoe on display, in addition to many other Salish cultural art and artifacts.
