Join us for an interview with Master Birch Bark Canoe Builder Chuck Commanda. Interviewed by Buffalo Maritime Center Curator, Edward Knibloe. We'll explore Chuck's journey in bark canoe building and discuss the canoe that Chuck and the BMC have been working on. That canoe will be on view for the event as well. Birch bark canoes are a millennia-old North American boat building tradition. Through Chuck's stewardship, those important traditions continue.
