Driving+Question

  **Driving Question:** What purpose have canoes served throughout history, specifically dealing with the Oberholtzer-Magee Expedition?


 * Citation:** Jennings, John. __The Canoe: A Living Tradition__. Toronto, Ontario: Firefly Books Ltd, 2002.


 * Subtopics:**
 * 1.** Oberholtzer-Magee expedition, in which two conservationists traveled by canoe into the unexplored Canadian Barren Lands of Upper Manitoba in the Spring of 1912. I came across this topic when I found a book, //The Old Way North: Following the Oberholtzer-Magee Expedtion//, which I found using the Access PA statewide library search.


 * 2.** History of canoeing, specifically from NAI in North America. I found this using Access PA statewide library search and using Google Advanced search, to find information on canoe history, which led me to __The Canoe: A Living Tradition__.


 * 3.** Canoes used to monitor quality of water, specifically in Lousianna. I found this using EBSCO Host using Green File and History Research Center.


 * 4.** Canoeing is used by educational groups to help students gain environmental knowledge through hands on experience, build friendship, leadership, and strengthen character. The Eco League and The Outers Club are two examples of such organizations. I found this using EBSCO Host using Green File and History Research Center.


 * 5.** Canoeing is used as a sport, and a way to advertise environmental awareness, conservation, and get people outdoors. Annual canoe race in the Adirondacks, that seeks to promote these things. I found this using EBSCO Host using Green File and History Research Center.
