They walked (over a long time period) when the sea levels were much lower) and in polynesia they sailed in dugout canoes.
How big were the canoes?
There is evidence showing that there were Canoes a hundred feet long that could hold 80 men. The size of a dugout canoe is limited only by the size of the tree trunk you could work to make it; if you include redwood's and several types of cedar, the canoe could be very large. Inuits (Eskimo) used canoes to hunt whales, if that gives you any ideal of their size.
Why was wood important to the American Indians of the Pacific Northwest?
The red cedar was the centerpiece for construction of home, transportation and protection. They fashioned long beam homes, dugout canoes and wove the inner bark into mats and rope.
How long do canoes last?
There are many types of canoes and many different materials. An aluminum canoe, reasonably well treated, can last many years. I have seen models from the 1960s still in use. Fiberglas boats are slightly more subject to sun damage and growth of icky stuff when poorly stored, and 10 years or so is a typical limit unless they are very carefully stored. Wood strip boats must be stored very carefully and will (because of that care) last a very long time; without good storage you might only get a couple of years. Northwest Native American (Chinook) dugout canoes were made from raw logs and did not have a long lifespan. They had no good way to prevent rot except burning and addition of cedar oil.
Who made the Cherokee canoes?
The Cherokee canoes were made by the Cherokees. The canoes were traditionally used for transportation across rivers and lakes. The dugout canoe was made from a hollowed-out tree trunk that was around 40 feet long, and could seat 20 men. The Cherokees began the canoe-making process by selecting a tree, and burning the base of it to make it more simple to cut down. They would then work together to remove the bark, shape both ends of the log, hollow it out, and then burn the outside to complete the canoe. I hope that this has helped!
How many people can fit in a Iroquois canoe?
How long is a piece of string? Since canoes were made in many different sizes for different purposes, the number of people carried in them would vary.Some Iroquois canoes were intended to carry a war party or huge supplies of goods and could be up to 30 feet long; around 18 warriors could easily be carried in such a large boat. There would also be many smaller canoes intended to carry a family, for fishing or carrying a small party of men - despite the misinformation available on the Internet, not all Iroquois tribes made their canoes 30 feet long.Experts have written that the elm-bark and dugout canoes used by the Iroquois tribes were far inferior to those of their Algonquian neighbours (who generally used birch bark) and that consequently the Iroquois groups preferred to travel on foot whenever possible.
