How big were the canoes?

In: Native American History, Boats and Watercraft, Canoes and Kayaks [Edit categories]

Answer:

There is evidence showing that there were Canoes a hundred feet long that could hold 80 men. The size of a dugout canoe is limited only by the size of the tree trunk you could work to make it; if you include redwood's and several types of cedar, the canoe could be very large. Inuits (Eskimo) used canoes to hunt whales, if that gives you any ideal of their size.
