They help pass down traditional knowledge, stories, and practices from generation to generation. Canoe Families often act as a link between the elders who hold this knowledge and the younger members who are learning and participating in cultural events like the Canoe Journey. This continuity in cultural traditions helps to ensure the preservation and revitalization of Native American culture.
