Know History receives a special paddle
The Know History team in our Calgary office was thrilled to receive a specially commissioned paddle crafted, painted, and carved by artist Bre-Anna Beavan in collaboration with the Northern Cultural Expressions Society (NCES).
This Whitehorse-based non-profit is dedicated to empowering Yukon First Nations students by offering opportunities to explore artistic expression and foster business development.
Here it is photographed with Tom Van Dewark, our Director of Digital History, here at Know History!
