THE MENDOTA CANOES


CONNECTING PAST & PRESENT



The Wisconsin Historical Society, in partnership with Wisconsin's Native
Nations, is preserving a pair of historic dugout canoes recovered from Lake
Mendota. Testing revealed the first canoe is 1,200 years old and the second
3,000 years old.

They will help provide a more complete story of how Native American ancestors
lived in the area thousands of years ago while also connecting their traditions
to the vibrant Tribal Nations of today.
