SUQUAMISH, Wash. (AP) — A 32-foot, 10-ton western red cedar log is being turned into a canoe at Suquamish.
The Kitsap Sun reports British Columbia master carver Ray Natraoro is leading the work for the Tana Stobs “canoe family,” which includes members of the Suquamish and Port Gamble S’Klallam tribes.
The family is a group of extended family members and friends who participate in the annual Tribal Canoe Journey, when natives from around the Salish Sea paddle to a common destination. This year’s event will be hosted by the Swinomish Tribe near La Conner in Skagit County.
