The Iroquois used canoes for fishing, trading, transportation and transporting items like corn, other foods and animal skins.
They watched as the campers pushed their canoes into the river.
Native Americans used canoes for much of the same reasons that we use them today: Fishing, travel, trading, recreation (to name a few).
A canoe can be made of tree bark sewed to a frame, from reeds lashed together, or by hollowing out a log.
They used the dogout canoes to transportation.
