The Burke Museum’s collections include a wooden dugout canoe that was found eroding out of the banks of the Green River in Kent, WA in 1963. With support from a John Gardener grant from the Traditional Small Craft Association, Burke and Muckleshoot Tribe scholars are creating detailed 3D model of the canoe, radiocarbon dating of the hull and fiber repairs, creating a custom storage cradle, and recording histories of Coast Salish river canoes from tribal elders.
We will present our results to date.
