Detailed explanation-1: -So there you have it-the word “canoe” that we use today, originated almost 500 years ago, derives from the Arawak Indian word “kanawa", and was brought to us by Christopher Columbus!
Detailed explanation-2: -The Native Americans in Virginia never developed sailing ships, but they were using canoes routinely when the Europeans like John Cabot sailed along the North American shoreline at the end of the 15th Century.
Detailed explanation-3: -Subarctic Indigenous peoples used snowshoes, toboggans, canoes and sleds. Survival for these mobile peoples depended on being able to travel long distances. Snowshoes were essential for winter travel.
