Posted: Thursday, September 5, 2013
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe of Massachusetts is donating a traditional wood canoe to the National Museum of the American Indian.
The 16-foot-long mishoon was carved out of white pine. The wood itself was harvested using a traditional burning technique.
The entire process was filmed for a documentary that is also being donated to the NMAI.
The boat will arrive at the Cultural Resources Center in Suitland, Maryland, tomorrow.
