- Description
-
Pair of elongated wood pieces, enlarged and flattened on one end.
Odake, "the one who is behind", steers the canoe. His oar is slightly longer. Odake is a term that applies specifically to canoes - it is the traditional language of the nomads.
The wood used to make paddles must be nether 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 is not the strongest wood.
Today, few Anishinabek still make their own paddles. - Format
