Kid Crafts: Birch Bark Canoe 

About

Make a miniature version of an Ojibwe birch bark canoe, an original mode of transportation for Minnesota's vast rivers and lakes.

Allow an hour to make the craft. Recommended for ages 8 and up. Craft supplies have been provided by the Minnesota Humanities Center.

Guests are encouraged to explore the new interactive exhibit We Are Water MN, on view in the visitor center.

We are Water MN is led by the Minnesota Humanities Center in partnership with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the Minnesota Historical Society, the Minnesota Department of Health, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, and the Minnesota Department of Agriculture.

We are Water MN is funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and with money from the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund that was created with the vote of the people of Minnesota on November 4, 2008.
