The Glooscap Heritage Centre in Truro, Nova Scotia has an exhibit entitled Kmu'jiktuk Wejiaq = Made from Trees. It features a roughly carved, large bladed Mi'kmaq paddle along with some other tribal artifacts.
I'm an avid canoeist and general "outdoorsy type" guy with a bit of an artistic side. Started this hobby of making custom canoe paddles after my disappointing experience with most commercial brands. This site documents various styles of single blade canoe paddles I've made or researched as well as other canoe related info I've stumbled across on my internet wanderings. Kindly note that this site is a non-commercial enterprise and no paddles are for sale. Information provided is for educational use and purposes only. Hope you enjoy your visit.
