Past and present: The reproduction birch- bark canoe of Project Lakewell, foreground, shares the Grand River on Thursday with modern kayaks and canoes. Quite a sight: A family watches from the banks of the Grand River as Project Lakewell’s birch-bark canoe dubbed Gabagouache passes by with its crew of French fur traders, English captives, a French-Ojibwa woman and member of the Wendat tribe.
