With guidance from Xander Demetrious and Adam Wicks-Arshack, Renee Hill’s fourth grade students built the 22 foot cedar plank canoe at Palouse Prairie Charter School at Moscow in their spare time over two months, while studying canoes and American Indian culture. With the help of Nez Perce Tribal members, the canoe, named The Chinook, was blessed Friday and then carried by all the students (“It’s heavy!”), and launched in the Snake River. The handmade boat was paddled around Silcott Island in a light rain. The canoe will be donated to the Nimiipuu Protecting The Environment group of the Nez Perce Tribe for teaching and regional demonstrations.
