: Last year I was commissioned to do a rare "sturgeon nosed
: canoe" build for a member of the Sinixt Indians. A lot of
: press commented on it's launching at the time, and this film
: that was on local tv just came to my attention. It can be kind
: of rambling, but I found it interesting that a number of the
: tribe were present for a launching and were able to paddle the
: canoe. This is significant because this type of canoe is iconic
: for them, and yet few of them have ever seen a real one, and
: certainly not paddled what for them, is a piece of their
: history.

Paul,
It looks like it was put to good use, I am glad his vision is coming true.
