Synopsis

The documentary covers the careers and canoes that Floyd and Earl Willits made for over 50 years from their factory on Day Island. The handcrafted red cedar canoes have become some of the most sought after watercraft in the world. With less than a thousand made and beautifully made by hand, the Willits Bros were true artisans. With interviews from historian Michael Sullivan, Willits Bros author Pat Chapman, Puyallup tribal elder, Robert Satiacum, as well as Girl Scouts of Western WA, collectors and family members this film explores the era of wooden canoes and craftmanship, and the legacy of these two brothers.
