Ojibwa Canoe
The birch bark canoe is constructed from three
materials. The gunwales, ribs and planking are
split from northern white cedar which is
resistant to rot. The skin is bark from the paper
birch. Black spruce roots are used to sew the
canoe together. The roots are peeled and split to
make lacing.

Dreamcatcher
Dreamcatchers were invented by the Ojibwa
(Chippewa) people. In Ojibwa (Chippewa)
culture, a dreamcatcher (or dream catcher Ojibwe
asabikeshiinh, the inanimate form of the word for
"spider", or bawaajige nagwaagan, meaning "dream
snare") is a handmade object based on a willow
hoop, on which is woven a loose net or web. The
dreamcatcher is then decorated with personal and
sacred items such as feathers and beads.
