The canoe is deeply rooted in the Klahoose way of life and cultural identity as both a sophisticated form of travel on the water and a unique art form.​

Klahoose participates in the

'Tribal Canoe Journeys' each year to celebrate and revitalize canoe culture. Tribal Journeys have been bringing coastal peoples together to paddle ancestral travel routes for over 30 years.

Klahoose also holds the 'Awaken the Canoes' event each year, in preparation for the annual

Tribal Journeys.
