Types of canoes on Puget Sound

DISTRIBUTION OF THE VARIOUS TYPES Used in fastening on the bow and stern sections, and in closing up cracks. 8. Stern-piece, st L ’a´lalΔp . Seated in place like the bow-piece, mentioned above. On the Exterior of the Hull 9. Narrow piece projecting forward at the tip of the prow, bΔ´qsιd . The shape of the forward part of the bow-piece strongly suggests the head of some living creature. The projection would correspond to a snout or beak. The Indians say the resemblance is accidental. 10. A knob or projection on the neck of the canoe, about two feet below the preceding feature, bla´lgwa’ . This word means “navel.” The Makah call this projection the boa1’s uvula. 11. Ornamentation consisting of parallel lines, incised with a special tool, like a reamer, on the side of the neck, astc ι´ 1’absub . This is incised with a special tool, in the old days made of flint, resembling a reamer. This ornamentation is found also on the top surface of the bow-piece. 12. Curved line of the prow, cli´bus . 13. Cutwater, t L ’kwa´psΔb . 14. A bulge or raised strip at the gunwale, st L aa´gwΔp . A corresponding excavation on the inside of the hull is mentioned below (No. 23). 15. Bottom, 1’a´tsΔp . 16. Where the bottom turns up toward the gunwale to form the sides, cΔxdt1’a´ladi . 17. Sharp blade or half-keel, under the cano1’s forefoot, st’ιtci´bιt . This acts as a “muffler.” It cuts into the waves as the canoe forges ahead, without splashing. The canoe moves silently. 18. Forward extremity of the half-keel, 1’ilqs . On the Interior of the Hull 19. Interior of the canoe, xuxta´ts . 20. Where the bottom turns up to form the sides, wila´ladi L . 21. Offset where the canoe widens at the gunwale, stpu´tsid . This corresponds to the st L aa´gwΔp (No. 14 above). 22. Side of the canoe, i´lalgwι L . 23. Trench leading sternward from the tip of the prow, sxwο´qbus . 24. Vertical line of the hull at the stern, st L kwa´·lap . Additional Fittings 25. Thwarts, cxalwi´ld . These are round poles instead of flat benches, as in the canoes of Alaska and in our own boats. When on a trip the Indians pad them with an old mat, folded. 26. Withes of twisted cedar limbs, which fasten the thwarts, cli´dclidgΔs . They are rove through a perforation in the thwart, and then through perforations in the side of the boat. Similar withes are used for mending cracks and in fastening the bow and stern sections in place (see No. 7 above). The present word refers to the way in which they are manipulated in fastening thwarts in place. 27. Strip of wood along the gunwale, st L ’a´lalgwι L . This is pegged to the top surface of the gunwale, to where the paddles rub, to prevent the sides of the canoe from being worn. 28. Painter, or boat rope, L Δdgwi´lad . Used for mooring the boat, or anchoring it. 29. Crack in the hull, actcΔ´x . 30. Knot-hole, st1’a´ctalus (knot, stcact ). 31. “Patched place,” stΔka´lgwι L . When the side of a canoe is broken, a section is cut out bodily, a piece of plank being carefully shaped to fit in the space. This plank is fastened in place with cedar pegs and by “sewing” with cedar withes. 32. A “long patch,” sΔp1’a´tsgwι L . This term refers to a place where a longitudinal crack in the bottom of the hull has been closed by stitching it up with cedar withes. 33. Holes bored in making the canoe, to test the thickness of the sides, udtc’ι´stΔd . These holes are later closed by plugging them with round pegs of maple, which swells greatly on being wet. 34. Mast, xputdale (cf. pu´tιd , sail). Informants insist that masts and sails are aboriginal. Vancouver, writing in 1792, says they are not. 35. Step or socket for the mast, tcugwacα´gwΔp . 36. Sail, pu´tιd . This was a “square” sail, of checker-work matting, and was hoisted only when the breeze happened to come directly over the stern. 37. Upper yard, ta L a´ L qud . 38. Lower yard, t L i´dΔp . 39. Paddle, xobt . Terms of Direction 40. Ahead, tudzi´q w . 41. Astern, tuxula´q w . 42. Starboard, or right side, dzaha´lgwisapΔp . 43. Port, or left side, kala´lgwisapΔp . 44. Forward, tuca´dst (cf. cεdst , bow). 45. Aft, tue´laq (cf. i´laaq , stern). 46. Amidships, o´dugwι L . Linguistically there is evident similarly between certain of the words in this list, as shown by the following groups: (5) Bow-piece, st L ’a´lu . (8) Stern-piece, st L ’a´lalΔp . (13) Cutwater, t L ’kwa´psΔb (cf. especially No. 26 below). (14) Raised strip along gunwale, st L aa´gwΔp . (24) Vertical line at stern, st L kwa´·lap . (27) Strip pegged to gunwale, st L ’a´lalgwι L . (6) Dowels, or pegs, st’Δ´stΔd . (33) Holes bored to test the thickness of the hull, udtc’ι´stΔd . One is inclined to suspect the presence of a common suffix in the following cases: (12) Curved line of the prow, cli´bus . (23) Trench leading backward from the prow, sxwο´qbus . The presence of a suffix is obvious in the following cases: (3) Side, sila´lgwil . (4) Gunwale, sbΔtctca´lgwil . (22) Side of the canoe (interior), i´lalgwι L . (31) Section of plank used as a patch, stΔka´lgwι L . (32) Closing of a crack by sewing, sΔp1’a´tsgwι L . (11) Ornamental lines, astcι´1’absub . (13) Cutwater, t L ’kwa´psΔb . (15) Bottom, 1’a´tsΔp . Analysis of these expressions is not possible at the present time. The terms in the above list apply especially to the sea-going canoe. Similar words are applied to the other types of canoes, except where the corresponding parts are missing. The notch at the bow of the trolling canoe is simply called qa´dxu , “notch.” DISTRIBUTION OF THE VARIOUS TYPES A situation with many points of interest exists in regard to the distribution of these forms of canoes. For example, on Puget sound we have the six types of dugout canoes, which have been described; in northern California we have only one. The question at once suggests itself, How far southward along the Pacific coast does the use of six types of canoes extend? And, again, as we travel southward, do all six of the Puget Sound types disappear from use at once, being replaced by new types of craft, or are certain of these Puget Sound types more widely distributed than the others? The last question, I think, is the more easily answered. The single type which is used on Klamath river and on Humboldt bay in northern California is probably a modification of one of the types used on Puget sound—the “shovel-nose” model described above (pl. I, d ). The appended diagram (pl. II) shows these two craft side by side. There seems to be in a general way a marked similarity in these canoes. They are both dugouts, of a “square-ended” type, and in each case the model has reached a high degree of refinement. There is a skilful “pinching-in” of the lines of the craft toward the ends, and also a very graceful “lift” of the bottom at bow and stern. It may be asserted from experience that both craft are very light and easily handled. The California canoe has no gunwale-strips, [16] and, moreover, it has in the stern some foot-braces and a seat, hewn in one piece with the hull, which are absent in the Puget Sound boat. The California boat, on the other hand, has no thwarts. The most striking difference, however, is that the bow and the stern of the California craft are crowned up into a peak, and the bow is further graced with a removable carven ornament, shaped like an inverted V. These differences seem superficial and underneath them the present writers see almost identical lines in the two vessels. So much for the general resemblance. The facts of distribution make the idea of relationship much more plausible. It is worthy of remark that in California south of Humboldt bay there are no dugout canoes at all. Northward, however, dugouts are in use among all tribes as far as Puget sound. Moreover, in the case of some, at least, of the intervening tribes the shovel-nose or square-ended type of dugout occurs. This is true of the tribes about Klamath lake, for instance , as shown by a specimen of their canoes collected by Dr Barrett, now in the Museum of the University of California. Information on this point is unsatisfactory, for in this intervening area few observers have taken the pains to note in detail what kinds of canoes were used. This is true of much of Oregon, even on the coast. Vancouver says of the Indians of Port Orford that “their canoes, calculated to carry about eight people, were rudely wrought out of a single tree; their shape much resembled a butche1’s tray, and seemed very unfit for a sea voyage or any distant expedition.” [17] This seems almost certainly to indicate that he saw craft of a shovel-nose type. We can find few other statements on this matter in the literature. On Columbia river, as shown by the statements of Boas, [18] on the coast of Washington as illustrated by the photographs of Curtis, [19] on Puget sound and northward to an unknown distance, as observed by the present writers, shovel-nose canoes are in general use. The bare facts, as we have them, seem to be most readily explained on the assumption that one type of dugout canoe, of wide distribution on the North Pacific, has spread also as far south as the Yurok and neighboring tribes in northern California. The increased complexity of the design as found among the Yurok and their neighbors, as shown especially in the ornamentation, is possibly explainable by the fact that these tribes exhibit a distinctly higher culture in many respects than do their neighbors to the south, the east, or the north. For some reason, in the region about the mouth of Klamath river a secondary center of high culture has developed. It is not unlikely that this has produced the peculiar traits of their canoe. It is noticeable also that there seems to be a gradual modification of all types of canoes as we move southward toward California. On Puget sound, five canoes out of six show a lift in the gunwales toward bow and stern. On the coast south of the Straits of Juan de Fuca, as shown by the photographs of Curtis, [20] canoes other than the shovel-nose have an abrupt “raise” at the prow, but amidships and at the stern they are “flush,” the gunwales forming a straight horizontal line. Apparently this arrangement might be considered as an approach to the California type of canoe, where the gunwales are perfectly flat, without any lift at either end. If our inference is correct, it is apparent that, as we travel southward from Columbia river, five of the North Pacific types become modified and finally cease to be used. It has not been possible to find any evidence in the literature that indicates the point where the distribution of any of these models ceases. The use of dugout canoes extends, of course, up the rivers which flow toward the Northwest coast. Thus the Wishram at the falls of the Columbia use the “Chinook” model described in the present paper, and other dugout models besides. George Gibbs stated that the shovel-nose type is the only one used on the Columbia above The Dalles. [21] Curtis has one picture of a dugout canoe used by the Nez Percés. [22] It is of the shovel-nose type (though shockingly clumsy, heavy, and ill-made—merely a log roughly shaped and somewhat hollowed out). Chamberlain states [23] that the Kootenay have a dugout type of craft, of what shape we do not know. It seems to be impossible to trace in detail the distribution of the shovel-nose in this direction on the basis of any material now in print. We may speak with certainty, therefore, only of the region immediately about Seattle, where the present authors have had a chance to make observations. In this vicinity the only type of canoe used on the upper courses of the streams is the shovel-nose. Concerning the distribution, in a northerly direction, of these types of canoes, little can be said at the present time. As remarked above, the Kwakiutl use in place of the αο´τχς, a great sea-going canoe of somewhat different and more complicated model, and much more elaborately ornamented. The evolution of canoes probably took place among the people somewhat northward of Puget Sound peoples, whose general level of culture is higher. Going southward from the Kwakiutl, say, canoes are steadily less and less specialized, until we come to the tribes of northern California with their one model. South of the California tribes just mentioned, these influences are not apparent at all. Concerning the canoes of the coast north of the Kwakiutl, we can get at the present time no information. It is not known whether several types are in use, or only one. The pictures of Curtis, which might tell the story, are not nearly so useful as they are in other cases, since he photographed very few canoes in this area; possibly because he found so much else to picture. CONCLUSIONS The situation as regards canoes in the area under discussion may be essentially like that respecting types of pottery in the Southwest, as presented by Nelson. [24] He has shown in a most interesting way that the archaic types of pottery are also the types with the widest distribution. As we pass from center to periphery of the cultural region which he discusses, we encounter types of pottery which are more and more primitive. One striking difference between Nelso1’s problem and the present one is that a great mass of evidence has been assembled in the Southwest, while in regard to canoes on the Northwest coast the data are largely lacking. Another difference is that Nelson carried out extensive investigations in the field, while the present discussion is based largely on scattered references in the literature. Nelso1’s conclusions, to be brief, are based on knowledge and facts, while our own must be in the last degree inferential. The idea seems plausible, however, that the original type of canoe on the Northwest coast was the shovel-nose. Several considerations point in this direction. The shovel-nose is the simplest model. This raises a logical presumption that it may well be the oldest. It is associated with rivers, being of use only in streams and other quiet water. This also suggests that it may represent an early type. It may be regarded as certain that the first man or the first group who experimented with navigation on the North Pacific coast, experimented on the rivers, and not on the high seas. This would seem to imply that the river craft would be the first to reach perfection. The sea-going “Chinook” type, and models showing points of similarity to it, are in all human probability later in origin. When we consider the distribution of the various types of canoes, we emerge for a moment from the jungle of speculation into the field of evidence, though that evidence is scanty. It is a fact that the shovel-nose type of canoe is of wider distribution than the other types. It is the only type found in the marginal regions to the east and south of the area of typical North Pacific Coast culture. Thus is raised the presumption that it represents an older type of craft than do the other models. The connection between northern California and the North Pacific area, which seems to be exemplified in the distribution of dugout canoes, is also a matter of some importance. Ultimately it will doubtless be proved by a careful comparison, in the two areas, of houses, geographical notions, money and financial institutions, and other matters, that the mode of life of the tribes in extreme northern California is a direct offshoot of the type of culture found in the Northwest.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org. Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws. The Foundation’s business office is located at 41 Watchung Plaza #516, Montclair NJ 07042, USA, +1 (862) 621-9288. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate . While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate. Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org . This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
