Tule Canoe Build with Redbird Willie


  • Heron Shadow 9394 Ross Station Road Sebastopol, CA, 95472 United States (map)

The tule has been harvested and is ready for you to apply your learnings from our cordage and tule workshops. Let's build a canoe!

This is the final part of our Summer workshop series in preparation for our Tule Canoe Launch in November. We learned to make cordage, built a mini-canoe, harvested Tule - and we are now ready to build the canoe that will be launched for our relatives, friends, and community.

We are commemorating the Coast Miwok/Tamal-ko Felix Family who lived at Felix Cove (Laird’s Landing) and Marshall Beach—and all the Tamal-ko families who lived at Tomales Bay as recent as the 1950s.

Inviting Indigenous Communities to Learn with Us

In this workshop participants will build a full size tule canoe to launch in the water in November. Techniques will include tying and lacing to construct the canoe.

Events are free and limited to 40 participants. More details once registered. 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.

Please bring a water bottle and lunch. Feel free to bring your gloves, knife and pruning clippers. We’ll also have some available.
