The Mi'kmaq people were and still are known to be excellent canoe builders. Craft worthy to be used comfortably on the ocean as well as inland lakes and fast rivers. The distinctive humpbacked shape of the canoes they built were raised at both ends and the sides curved upwards in the middle. Canoes were 3m to 8m long, made of birchbark over a light wooden frame. Light and portable these canoes were often taken far inland by one person, portage style (over the head of the carrier).
