Wrong answer! 😬

Pickway is not the answer we were looking for. Try again!

Pickway
Early 20th century
Musée Huron-Wendat (1977.130)
A pickway is a tall narrow container that was used to harvest fir gum. When the Huron-Wendat built a bark canoe, they used this sticky substance to caulk holes and make repairs. Craftspeople mixed fir gum with bear grease to make a resistant water-proof lacquer. A pickway is one of the objects found in our exhibition “The Canoe: A Bearer of Traditions”.
