Our Vision
We know that traditional canoes are vital to Haida cultural revitalization. We help people connect with their culture by carving new canoes in the style of the old masters, using them on ocean voyages as our ancestors did, and documenting new and ancient vessels for future generations.
Carve
We carve and teach others to create traditional Haida canoes, some of the most sophisticated dugout vessels in history.
Journey
We travel with teams of paddlers on ocean voyages across routes our ancestors once used.
Document
Using modern technology, we make lines drawings and 3D images of new and ancient canoes.
