Teachings of Canoe

These poems and paper-folding instructions invite you to learn to fold canoes and contribute them to an installation for Earth Day at the Augusta Savage Gallery in April 2021. The canoes are made with joss paper or spirit money, ceremonially burned to honor the ancestors in Taiwan.

With gratitude for the Blue Heron Canoe Family, Michael Evans, Skipper and Chair of Snohomish
