[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 4625742, member: 301"]The white one is a Northern style Tlingit model canoe...1940 to 60....or there abouts. I say this because the maker cared not to work the interior as it should be, and what you see as cartoonish characters are actually legitimate NWC designs...but those made well after the 20's , at which time the proper design structures were still well understood by native artists..but were lost in the dark cultural years that followed [IMG]https://dygtyjqp7pi0m.cloudfront.net/i/30058/26151881_1m.jpg?v=8D42204256D0D80[/IMG] the dark one, is a Southern style Makah model canoe ...of an earlier age....maybe even late 20's...missing it's high rear raised stern. the bow and stern were added on to the main body , as would be for a full sized canoe....thus I think the earlier age ...when a carver knew what the hell he was doing !!
