Years ago, before the Europeans arrived, the Natives of north America that lived beside the rivers and lakes, developed a canoe whose skin was the bark of the birch tree. Birch bark can be stripped from the tree in such a way as to make long wide unbroken lengths of bark that can be laid onto the frame of a wooden canoe. Birch bark is water proof (as is all bark) and is also light enough to make carrying the canoe an easier task than the old idea of hollowing out a log.

They would have to work 12 hrs. a day just to make them. So basically the canoes were made of wood from trees and logs. I hope that helps.
Why did the aboriginal people called a canoe a canoe?
i do not no so tell me now i need it for a project.Well, they didn't. There is no one aboriginal language, and they were called by different names (and there are different types of canoes).The early explorers in the Americas dubbed them canoes- actually, canoas- from the Spanish word.
