DESCRIPTION: Full size dugout Coast Salish style canoe, found waterlogged in the Green River near Kent, WA. NOTE: Mary Parr in Archaeology found a newspaper article with photos and a description of a dugout canoe being excavated out of the river bank near Kent, WA, in Greengo's old files. Mary brought me the article and asked if we had the canoe, as it was not stored in Archaeology. I researched the Accession records for the 1960s and could not find any 'Museum Expedition' associated with a canoe from Kent, Wa, and Dr. Greengo. Therefore, Roxana Auguzstiny and I determined that Greengo had never accessioned the canoe. I called Dr. Greengo and asked if he thought we still had the canoe, and he believed that we did, and thought that it was in the hallway loft area, before Ethnology 101D. [The canoes and kayaks used to be stored there prior to museum renovation in 1990]. I checked my inventory of canoes stored off site at BRAIDA warehouse, and have a 'salish canoe, mostly hull with several pieces' listed on the inventory. It is approximately 20' long. The canoe hull, especially the prow, matches the photographs in the newspaper article. Therefore, I have concluded that this canoe is the one salvaged by Greengo and his crew. R. Andrews 1/20/1994. [see Accn. file for article]. On May 26, 2007 the Burke was contacted by Dennis Monstad who reported that his brother originally found the canoe. They were living at 26815 86th Ave So. Kent, WA on the family dairy along the Green River near Fort Thomas. His brother reportedly ran to tell his parents about the canoe, but by the time they returned to look at it a fisherman had already contacted the Historical Society about the find. S. Jolivette (8/14/2007)
