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. So it was Columbus, and not a native group that named them. By the way, in Cherokee, it is called a tsi-yu u-s-ti
