Yes. That is how it started and it has grown to a way of life.

This pic. has a deer head. It is a common prow. Of course the owner can do
whatever they want to represent what ever they deem best.(Clan, tribal symbols, canoe spirit etc.)
I think all have the groove to hold a harpoon.

Why the deer head ?
It is said in Suquamish creation story the Creator turned a deer into the first canoe.:icon_rendeer:
The story is told in this short video.

Most of the NW coastal canoes are dugout from a large cedar tree.
Some use modern methods to have a lighter weight canoe.
The journey lasts from 1 week to 2 weeks. Paddling to different tribes
and staying the night and off again to the next destination until
everyone converges at a final host tribe location. Then every tribe or canoe
family will share their songs and dances and words of wisdom with all in a
performance or what is called protocol.

Here is one explanation of canoe journey from the perspective of the S'klallum.

Here is a Nisqually song that a group of us traveled to a neighboring tribe
to receive as a gift,after being invited to receive the song back in the mid. 90s.
It is used by the Nisqually canoe family today as their song or anthem.

It is spiritual, in my book.

A great lesson for life, in a simplistic easy to remember
slogan. "Don't worry be Happy".:smile:

I like the silly side. It goes hand in hand with "Laughter is medicine".

Here is a couple of Natives that take silly to their
hip hop music and have done pretty well.

Autour du Rocher' Jimmy Buffet........filmed live at the Bête à z'aile night club on St Barts

Autour Du Roche (French....around the rock) tells the story of an infamous night club/ petite hotel that Jimmy Buffett owned back in the 1980's on St Barts island, French Antilles.

It was built on top of a hill (the rock) overlooking the Caribbean sea....local lore was that you could see hell through the floorboards of the dance floor.

The video shows the ruins of the place featuring a local model walking through it...

This brings back memories for me because back in the day St Barts was my wife and I hangout and we went to Autour Du Roche many times!

:headbang: omg, ImthatIm and sentient, I have skated to this! LOL! Of course when I was much, much younger! This song reminds me of my brother. :smile: Good memories!

:laughing4: I laughed myself silly!

Lucky 1, what a beautiful location! That is such a different feel, from typical Jimmy Buffet. I like the switch from black and white to color in the video. The bar scene has such a mass energy. Interesting to see in a video, like that.

ImthatIm, thank you for explaining and sharing. I can almost feel the vibration from the singers and the drums! The video in the water mixed with the dancers, makes the whole video feel like a fish swimming up stream. Goose bumps!
