 Boat building skills were passed from generation to generation.

The “Native American Boat-Building Traditions” exhibit at the new Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian will present master boat-builders and their apprentices constructing their native boats. 

Included will be: Hawaiian Fishing Canoe; Totora-Reed Boat; Kayak; Birch-Bark Canoe; Plains Bull Boat; and a Northwest Coast Carved Canoe.
