  • Canoeing 101 from Shenandoah River Adventures
    Canoeing 101 from Shenandoah River Adventures ShenandoahRiverAdventures.com How to Dress for Canoeing When you head out for a canoe trip, remember that wearing the proper clothing is critical if you want to be safe, somewhat dry and comfortable. The following steps provide guidance for planning and selecting appropriate attire for your canoeing activity. Plan what you'll wear around your location and the weather conditions. In warm weather, as long at the water is relatively warm, you can wear shorts or quick-dry pants with a T-shirt. It's wise to bring a long-sleeved shirt, even in warm weather, in case you need protection from bugs. Dress for comfort when you're planning to canoe in a raging river or in colder weather. Dress to protect you from cold water, because there is a lot of splashing and spray on a canoe trip and hypothermia can plague paddlers who aren't careful. Put on a base layer of clothing, the layer closest to your skin, using fabrics that will retain very little water if you get wet. Good fabrics for this layer can include polyester or silk. Cotton clothes should be avoided at all costs. Follow the base layer with a layer that adds warmth. Wool or fleece will insulate you from the cold. You will need warmth and wind proofing. Wear jackets and pants as your outside layer, In particularly cold weather or if you're going to meet up with whitewater, you might want to purchase or rent a completely sealed dry suit, which will seal out the water.

  • Jessica Dunkin: the Canoe Paddle
    Jessica Dunkin: The Canoe Paddle What avenues of inquiry might we open if we begin not in the canoe, that icon of Canadiana, but with the more unassuming technology of travel, the paddle? The paddle has a long history as a tool of mobility, although its form and meaning have changed across time and place. For many North American indigenous groups, the paddle offered a means of propelling their variously shaped watercraft, including canoes and kayaks.1 Groups as diverse as the Kwakwaka’wakw, the Anishnaabeg, and the Mi’kmaq found in the paddle a useful instrument of trade, travel, subsistence, and play. Much like other objects of material culture, paddles were often decorated with designs reflecting, amongst other things, spiritual beliefs and family ties, which were embedded in the “natural world.”2 Contact with Europeans changed Aboriginal lives and livelihoods in countless ways. However, the paddle remains an important tool of mobility for indigenous peoples, both in practical and symbolic terms. Paddles were also central to the functioning of the continental fur trade of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Teams of men with paddles propelled large canoes weighted with beaver pelts and other trade goods across vast stretches of territory. Whereas few voyageurs had the skills to build canoes, most crafted their own paddles, and decorated them as well, inspired perhaps by their Aboriginal colleagues.3 In the late nineteenth century, the paddle was re-imagined by Euro-Canadian and - American members of the middle class as a recreational tool. Although it had certainly been used for play and pleasure by Aboriginal people and voyageurs, the repositioning of the paddle outside the realms of subsistence and work, as a purely recreational technology was unprecedented.
