A 930-year-old Native American canoe belonging to the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe was recovered from a North Carolina lake by specialists from the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology. The canoe was originally discovered by a group of 13-year-old boys in 2021 and was well-preserved despite being submerged for nearly a millennium. The canoe will be taken to Greenville for preservation and study, providing concrete evidence of the tribe's history and origins.
