Canoe Making, A Journey: Sitka 2016
An oral and visual description of carving a 28-foot Northern Ceremonial canoe in Sitka, with four apprentices — Jerrod and Nick Galanin, Tommy Joseph, and TJ Young. Visuals will include historical photos and pictures of the work in various stages of progress. The carving of the canoe strengthened the spirit of each participant by putting us in contact with the healing power of the old ways.
