Jaalen’s most recent Haida canoe is 33 ft long and just under 5 ft wide, carved from one red cedar log.  Able to sit 12 adults, it is very stable and seaworthy.  Jaalen’s canoe building skills come from his work on past canoes including one carved with Beau Dick at Islands Spirit Rising in 2005 and in 2007 assisting Guujaaw carving the T’a Canoe in Skidegate.
