Tracing of a petroglyph of two human figures in a canoe possibly lancing fish

Petroglyph tracings D: Canoes #10. 7 negatives and 8 positives. Marion Robertson's Rock Drawings of the Micmac Indians interpret this petroglyph as "Two men in canoe lancing fish… These are perhaps Passamaquoddy Indians as the canoe is not the Micmac "humpback", and the drawing is similar to the Eastern Algonkin tribal designation for the Passamaquoddy Indians of two Indians paddling a canoe and following a fish."

Date: 1888

Retrieval no.: George Creed Nova Scotia Archives MG 15 volume 12 D10
