Students build birch bark canoe for Eabametoong

THUNDER BAY – The hard work of the Grade 8 class at Algonquin Avenue Public School was on full display on Tuesday afternoon.

“It means a lot,” said Eabametoong First Nation band councillor Derek Atlookan. “This will help bring our self-esteem back up again. “I feel emotional seeing this new canoe,” Yellowhead said. “It brings a symbol of hope that we will have a new school someday. “I was really excited and really happy to finish this, especially since I am from Fort Hope,” Whitehead said.

The first canoe was donated to the Kay-Nah-Chi-Wah-Nung Historical Centre, which is also known as Manitou Mounds, in June 2023.
