Vintage film of hand carved pirogue

Great video that I thought would be appropriate for the dug out forum...

Thanks for sharing this most interesting piece of "Pirogue" making. My wife has Acadian roots in New Brunswick and the songs sung in the background seemed familiar to both of us.

Thank you for sharing! No power tools used in the making of this canoe! Awesome. But what struck me the most was
the children watching what was being made. Don't see that today!
