Scope and content
This file contains an article from a 1986 edition of The Beaver entitled "Assiginack's Canoe: Memories of Indian Warfare on the Great Lakes" by J.G. Taylor. It details the work of Jean-Baptiste Assiginack - an Ottawa (Odawa) Chief and veteran of the War of 1812 - who drew upon his experiences to create a unique historical document in three dimensions of the early 19th century. He specifically created a war canoe and its crew that is now housed in the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
