"Earl tells us that artists have always depicted birch bark canoes with the distinctive white pattern of the bark on the outside. This is a myth, as they are actually made with the white, outer bark of the tree, on the inside of the canoe."
the birch tree rarely ever dies cause yeah its only othe outer bark... do u really think that native americans would still do this if they knew they were killing it! native americans are always very resourceful and never take more than they need.. soo i doubt that i hurts the tree any! plus did u see the tree cry?? i didnt haha
does this kill the tree? i know that if you cut the bark around a tree for more than 2/3 of the way it dies but i also hear that with a birch you are just removing the outer bark. anyone know the answer?
well yes it is hurting the tree but so long as you only tak what you need and nothing more and leave an offering for mother earth and gchi mnidoo then the tree should be fine
wow!

being resourceful only leaves it for someone else to kill off ie the bison, buffalo..

no he never killed the tree. Birch are scared to us and we are not allowed to kill such a thing. Its the rules and the will of our people.
