Members of the Haida Tribe of Alaska held an acceptance ceremony for a canoe that was carved by students at an alternative high school in Washington.
The students worked for three years under Haida carver Robert "Saaduuts" Peele. They carved a 750-year-old, 14,000-pound plank of cedar as a school project.
Students and teacher from Alternative School 1 attended the acceptance ceremony, which was held in Hydaburg.
