he takes to waters off Ambleside
Beach for the Squamish Indian
Band’s annual war canoe races.

Band member Michael Billy, 23,
will be paddling his hand-made
one-, two- and six-man red cedar
canoes in the races, which are now
an annual event for the local band.

Using what he calls ‘‘a tradi-
tional chainsaw,’’ the young craft-
sman first cuts the tree down then
fashions it with a slight bend to
make it turn easier.

A one-man canoe has a bend of
about two or three inches, an 11-
man canoe, which Billy is also
making, has a bend of about six
inches.

By the time his 11-man canoe is
finished in about six weeks, Billy
estimates he will have invested
close to four months of full-time
work in the project.

Using a blend of traditional
methods and contemporary tools,
the craftsman has been working
since the spring of 1984 on fash-
ioning a series of nine canoes.

About 15 11-man canoes are ex-
pected to participate in this
weckend’s races off Ambleside
Park. More are expected to join
prior to the race. *‘Everyone along
the coast has expressed interest in
coming to the races,” said band
member Penny Billy.

The weekend races will include
one-man, two-man, six-man, II-
man, mixed doubles and youth
canoe categories.

“We're looking at haying one a
year,’’ Penny Billy said. “We want
to keep our culture alive.”
