Led by master carver Wayne Price, who’s captained this voyage seven times and paddled in a canoe he carved over a decade ago, the fleet includes paddlers from Carcross, Kodiak, and Arizona, showcasing the event’s far-reaching community. Kevin Jones, Choctaw and longtime collaborator with Price, captains his cedar-and-spruce-strip canoe, built to honor tradition while conserving old-growth trees. Before setting out, they gathered for a sacred beach blessing, underscoring the spiritual depth of the journey. With seasoned paddlers mentoring newcomers, this voyage blends physical endurance with cultural reverence, all aimed at reaching Juneau for a celebration of shared heritage.
