A few of the eastern woodlands tribes, mainly in the north-east region, built beautiful canoes using wooden frames covered with birch bark sealed with resin and gum. They included the Ojibwe, Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, Naskapi, eastern Cree, Algonkin and central Cree. Each tribe made their canoes in a distinctive tribal shape.
