Canoe part of national exhibit
The
Advertiser
reports
that "After 15 years, a Hawaiian koa canoe that was rough cut by master canoe
builder Wright Bowman Jr. on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., will be
headed back to the nation's Capitol to become a living exhibit in the new
Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian set to open in September...
Billy Richards, president of the Friends of Hokule'a and Hawai'iloa, said the
exhibit will be a great opportunity to expose an estimated 4 million people a
year to a bit of Native Hawaiian culture."
