Make time to see this beautiful birch bark canoe that is part of an exhibit, Mayaadaaboonojig – "The Ones Drifting Off on the Current" opening December 5 through January 11. We partnered with Oshki Manidoo, a White Earth operated recovery center, located in Bemidji. Zac Earley, a gifted artist and Ojibwe culture keeper was the lead for the project. The canoe will continue to provide meaningful experiences and tell stories in ways that will contribute to the recovery and wellness of individuals for years to come.

Watermark is accessible, free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday. For more information regarding exhibits, classes, or events contact 218-444-7570 or visit watermarkartcenter.org.

This activity was made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. Watermark Art Center would like to thank the following organizations for supporting our summer birch bark canoe build: Oshki Manidoo Center, White Earth Nation Behavioral Health and Language and Culture Program.
