After 10 Years, Birchbark Canoe Hits the Water Again

The Ojibwe birchbark canoe proudly dispayed in Four Lakes Market returned to the waters of Lake Mendota this month, marking the 10-year anniversary of its making. Dejope (or Teejop) is the name that the Ho-Chunk and other Indigenous peoples have called Madison for time immemorial. Every day, the canoe gives students a visual connection to the rich and enduring heritage of this land that now makes up UW–Madison’s campus. But after a decade on land, the canoe needed to return to the water.
