Well, they propelled them using paddles. As for what they used them FOR, it was usually either just as a means of transport to get across a body of water, or for fishing- sometimes they used nets to fish, at other times they used spears.

Canoes were rarely used for battle, unless it was as a form of troop transport to move warrior braves closer to the scene of combat- there were very rarely maritime fights between fleets of canoes, as they just weren't designed for it. It might have happened occasionally on a one-to-one basis between members of rival tribes, but fleets of canoes seldom set out to attack each other.
