This video provided by the Chickasaw Nation Video Network is a brief walk-through of the "Dugout Canoes: Paddling through the Americas" exhibition. Produced by the Florida Museum of Natural History, the traveling exhibition features American dugouts from ancient times to present, and explains how dugout canoes have affected life and travel throughout the Americas, from Florida to the Amazon and the Pacific. It also features information on the world's largest archaeological find of 101 ancient dugouts at Newnans Lake, Florida, an explanation of how scientists study dugouts from the past, as well as examples of how the dugout tradition is alive and well in Native communities today.
