The stern is the back of a canoe - or any boat (the front is the "bow"). If you aren't certain which is supposed to be the front or back of your canoe look at the seats. One of the seats will be close to the point of its end, and one will be further away from the point. The one closer is the back of the boat (the bow seat is further away so the paddler has room for their legs)
