Canadian artist Alan Daniel has created a stunning visual narrative of a Mi’kmaq trading party paddling to meet a Portuguese ship caught in a summer storm off the coast of present day Nova Scotia. Their canoe is filled with furs and one man is waving an animal hide to indicate their desire to trade. The Mi’kmaq’s expertise as mariners is reflected in their skillfully crafted canoe, which has upward-curving sides and high ends designed to keep out the rough seas.
