McCord Museum Paddle

Montreal's McCord Museum has a fantastic collection of native items, including some beautifully made full-sized and model-scale paddles. The site allows you to zoom on the images and get a virtual tour of some of the collection. One such piece is a late 19th century Maliseet or Passamaquoddy paddle with a painted scroll pattern on the blade.
