The Dugout Canoe Project A film by Ken Koons

The Dugout Canoe Project

A film by

Ken Koons  


The Dugout Canoe Project was created at McDaniel College, in Westminster, Maryland, as part ofthe Common Ground on the Hill summer traditional arts program.
Starting with a 3 foot diameter by 12 foot long Sycamore tree and using only hand tools and fire, the community constructed this dugout to see what could be learned from traditional ways of working wood.
These videos explain how the boat was made and what the community discovered from working on the project.

Narrators:
Joe Baker, Archeologist 
Charlie Billie, Seminole Tradition Bearer
Shelton Browder, Journeyman Blacksmith, Colonial Williamsburg 
Guy Davis, Bluesman and Performer 
Ken Koons, Journalist
Walt Michael, Director, Common Ground on the Hill
Göran Olsson, Swedish Tradition Bearer
