What the Canoes Can Teach Us: Unlocking the Wisdom of Ancient Haida Canoes
Deep in the forest of a remote island in Southeast Alaska, an ancient dugout canoe lies in the shadows, covered in moss. Battered by weather and years, this ancient relic will soon decay back into the soil it came from. As rough as the canoe is though, it holds secrets to Native Haida canoe carving that are unavailable anywhere else.
Maritime Historian, Jason Rucker, will tell the story of the Haida family on a mission to restore the Haida canoe to its place of primacy on the waters of Southeast Alaska and their project using today’s technology to scan, draw and model an ancient canoe to save and illuminate yesterday’s technology and wisdom.
