A rich visual testament to the practical and cultural power of the
dugout canoe, balanced in its description of meaning and method.
Tla-o-qui-aht master canoe maker Joe Martin, in collaboration with
former museum curator Alan Hoover, describes the meaning and method
behind one of the most vivid and memorable symbols of the Northwest
Coast: the dugout canoe. Both artform and technological marvel, the
chaputs carries Indigenous cultural knowledge passed down through
generations, not only of the practical forestry and woodworking
that shape every canoe, but also of the role and responsibilities
of the canoe maker. The text includes both a step-by-step
explanation of the canoe-making process from tree selection onward
(carefully described and dynamically illustrated) and the personal
histories of a number of Joe's canoes, encompassing their planning,
creation, cultural significance, and role in the process of
reconciliation. The teachings Joe received from his father and the
expertise he has gained in a lifetime of canoe-making are recorded
here in his own words for generations to come.
