Canoe Puppet

A soft plush canoe perfect for story telling and dramatic play, inspired by indigenous experiences of the Pacific northwest.  

Designed by Bill Helin (Welaaxam Yout) who is Tlingit, Tsimshian and Norwegian. Born in the Northwest Coastal community of Prince Rupert, BC, Bill spent countless hours listening to his indigenous grandmother.   

Bill has tried to capture the wonder of the many legends and songs she taught him in these plush toys.
