"The following report describes the construction of a moderately large West Coast or "Nootka" canoe of red cedar from observations at Port Renfrew, B.C., in 1973-74, supplementing other descriptions of the art of canoe carving and documenting the particular example built for the National Historic Parks and Sites Branch, Parks Canada, for eventual display at Friendly Cove. A brief overview of the Northwest Coast canoe styles places the West Coast canoe in area perspective. Construction description covers materials, tools and technical procedures, both as manifested in the project and as recalled by the builders, Charles Jones, Sr., hereditary chief of the local Pachena tribe, and George Louie, Sr., from Ahousat. Canoe usage is described from recollections and other sources since cedar dugouts have passed out of existence except in the specialized form of the modern racing canoes and the increasingly rare modified fishing boats without the high traditional head pieces at the ends. Lastly, the Port Renfrew whaling canoe reconstruction project is briefly evaluated as an instance of material culture study in ethnology"--Abstract, p. 5 Includes abstract in French. gccst Shipbuilding gccst Whaling Canada.
