Sturgeon Nose Canoes on Display at Craft Fair

Sturgeon-nose canoes will be featured at this year’s Christmas Arts and Crafts Fair in Creston.

Lower Kootenay Band member Wayne Louie builds traditional Ktunaxa canoes from all natural materials.

He says he is trying to preserve Ktunaxa pre-contact culture.

The canoes are made from all natural materials, Louie relies heavily on bitter cherry bark.

He harvests all the materials himself.

The canoes, along with Tuletipi and other Ktunaxa artefacts, will be on display this Saturday at the Creston Rec Centre.
