History and Overview of Birch Bark Canoe Building | Native Skills | Self Reliance | Bush Craft

Peter demonstrates collecting raw materials and constructing a birch bark canoe using traditional methods. This includes collecting the birch bark, digging roots for stitching, splitting cedar for ribs, gunnels, sheathing and thwarts. Only traditional tools are used in the construction, with the primary tool being the crooked knife. He then takes the canoe on its maiden voyage.
