Aboriginal dugout canoes can last for many years, often decades, with proper care and maintenance. The durability depends on the materials used, environmental conditions, and how frequently the canoe is used. Some historical dugout canoes have been preserved for over a century, showcasing their longevity when crafted and maintained well. Regular repairs and protective measures against rot and damage significantly extend their lifespan.

Dugout canoes varied in length, typically ranging from about 10 to 30 feet (3 to 9 meters), depending on their intended use, the size of the tree trunk used, and the culture of the people crafting them. Some larger dugouts, used for transporting goods or multiple people, could exceed 30 feet. The design and dimensions often reflected the specific needs of the communities that built them.

The size of a dugout canoe is limited only by the size of the tree trunk you could work to make it; if you include redwood's and several types of cedar, the canoe could be very large. Inuits (Eskimo) used canoes to hunt whales, if that gives you any ideal of their size.
How long do canoes last?
There are many types of canoes and many different materials. An aluminum canoe, reasonably well treated, can last many years. I have seen models from the 1960s still in use. Fiberglas boats are slightly more subject to sun damage and growth of icky stuff when poorly stored, and 10 years or so is a typical limit unless they are very carefully stored. Wood strip boats must be stored very carefully and will (because of that care) last a very long time; without good storage you might only get a couple of years. Northwest Native American (Chinook) dugout canoes were made from raw logs and did not have a long lifespan. They had no good way to prevent rot except burning and addition of cedar oil.
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!
