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!
