Burn Out Dug Out Canoe

Thought I’d post a few pictures of the burn out canoe. It’s looking amazing and the medicine is powerful. Anyone have a chance there’s still time to see this white pine turn into a canoe, traditionally done. Wliwini to all the ones that made this happen! - Chief Gagne

The canoe is just about finished its burn and dug out. Smudged her tonight to thank her for this opportunity and gift. Also, for having restrictions on the burn from the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge.  - Chief Gagne

Today watching the burn out dug out canoe being moved traditionally and to see it on the Missisquoi Gliding was a gift from the Ancestor’s and all the ones who worked on her. It’s been way over 100 years since this has happened at Missisquoi. To see the next generation already getting involved is heartwarming! - Chief Gagne
