Honouring Mi'kmaq heritage with handmade a canoe

A traditional art — building birchbark canoes
"A seventh-generation Mi'kmaq man from Nova Scotia's Kejimkujik region is honouring the heritage and culture of his people by practising a traditional art — building birchbark canoes. Todd Labrador, whose great-grandfather was a master canoe maker, taught himself how to build the craft after his own father passed away."
