On Sunday, September 4, 2022, a fire was lit at The Wayside Inn Historic Site to create what would eventually become an 18' mishoon. The dugout canoe was made from a fresh pine log shaped through a process of monitored burning, using Indigenous techniques that span millennia.

Because of drought conditions in the area, the process took only six days, much less time than expected. Hundreds of visitors from near and far stopped by throughout the process to check on the canoe's progress and ask questions.
