Title
Kalispel scene
Curtis Caption
From time out of mind the Kalispel have been boatmen, and they are one of the few inland tribes that still possess and use craft of native manufacture. Their canoes are made of pine-bark on a framework of cedar strips, the seams and the imperfections of the bark being caulked with spruce gum.
