César's Bark Canoe

This documentary shows how a canoe is built the old way. César Newashish, a 67-year-old Attikamek of the Manawan Reserve north of Montreal, uses only birchbark, cedar splints, spruce roots and gum. Building a canoe solely from the materials that the forest provides may become a lost art, even among the Native peoples whose traditional craft it is. The film is without commentary but text frames appear on the screen in Cree, French and English.

Description pédagogique:

Cette démonstration de la technique de fabrication d’un canot amérindien pourrait facilement accompagner le cours d'histoire et d'éducation à la citoyenneté ou celui sur les premières nations. En géographie, les scènes filmées dans une réserve et la forte teneur identitaire de cet art renvoient au territoire autochtone et permettent de justifier la présence des réserves et des droits des Amérindiens.

      «What a beautiful little film, are there any craftsmen like him left? I would imagine the woman in the film is his daughter, it's obvious she is very proud of him, especially at the end when she goes for a boat ride to check the fish nets, I hope someone in his family still has that boat or others that he made, any museum would be proud to own it . These are the skills that have gotten lost, an easier lifestyle has taken over for the next generation, and the promise of a better life, but is it? Thank the NFB for preserving this artisan and the magic in his hands, and all of the other films that contain a historical significance.»
