"The canoe has a firm place in the mythology of our continent. Its history stretches back into the unrecorded past, its construction has conferred statuds on the builder and has fascinated the bystander for centuries, its forms are many and varied -- as are its uses, which range from the practical to the ceremonial and totemic. Above all, there is an indefineable romance about the canoe, a sense of its place in the lives of countless generations and its role in the history of our land."
