- Description
-
Pair of elongated pieces of wood, widened and flattened at one end.
Odake, “the person behind”, steers the canoe. His paddle is slightly longer. Odake is a term that applies specifically to canoes - it's the traditional language of nomads.
The wood used to make paddles must be neither too light nor too heavy. Spruce is a good example. Cedar can also be used, as it's a light wood that floats well, but it's not the strongest.
Today, few Anishinabek still make their own paddles. - Format
