Qayaqs & Canoes: Native Ways of Knowing

Jan Steinbright

0/5 ( ratings)

Follow along as Alaska Native master boat builders, apprentices, and volunteers build eight traditional watercraft, and in the process recapture the knowledge of their ancestors and revive the spirit of their people. Drawing from legend, history, and the experiences of the boat builders, Qayaqs and Canoes tells the story of Alaska Native cultures through their connection to each boat-the Athabascan birch bark canoes; the skin-covered qayaqs of the Aleut, Alutiiq, and Central Yup'ik; the angyapik of the Siberian Yup'ik; and the dugout canoe of the Northwest Coastal Indians. Stunning photographs capture the process from building traditional tools and gathering materials, to finally building each craft.
