In 2010 I was contacted by Harry W., a member of the Sinixt people  
who was interested in commissioning a traditional Sinixt canoe which,  
as it turns out, is a Sturgeon Nosed canoe.

Today it was delivered to the very happy new owner. He is probably  
the first person in his family to paddle such a canoe in 100 years or  
so. Follow the link for pics & more info.
