The Spirit of Haisla II – Ocean-Going Canoe Adventure
For the North America’s Northwest Coast waters, the cedar ocean going canoe is the finest vessel ever made. The ocean going canoe also knows as dugout canoe or West Coast canoe is the traditional way that First Nations people from Northwest of North America used to travel through out their immense territory. The original canoe was made of red cedar, considered the ideal wood for canoes because it is waterproof and resists rot. Many First Nations people from North America’s Northwest Coast call the red cedar "Tree of Life." It was their source of clothing, shelter, and transportation. In the old days, carvers used the dried skin of dogfish as sandpaper to create a smooth outside surface. For First Nations people every canoe had its own personality. They gave canoes names based on some special characteristics. Usually canoes were named after animals, like whales or eagles. Spirit of Haisla II is named after the Haisla Nation who are the original protectors and stewards of this territory since time without number..
Haisla Tourism gives you a unique opportunity to explore the Canadian Pacific Inland Coast aboard a replica of the legendary cedar canoe used and built by Haisla Nation.
