    Have they ever thought about building and exporting those canoes there may be a market in the US and Europe.

      as long as they are sold as custom-made and very expensive. An industry like this could cause some serious deforestation if not properly managed.

        True on the deforestation point however as you said if not managed properly so as long as Afforestation and Reforestation is practiced there is no big worry… It would be a great opportunity for the Kalinago people.
