The birchbark replica canoes are fun. I think that Hollywood did a pretty good job on the lines of these canoes.

Philip R. Goodwin : America's Sporting and Wildlife Artist by Larry Len Peterson.
Wow! What an incredible treasure trove of paintings and drawings. Those who are familiar with Goodwin's art will love this book and when it comes to birchbark canoes Goodwin probably did a better job of duplicating them in his art that any other artist.

Hudson's Bay starring Paul Muni
1940 black and white production of the founding of the Hudson's Bay Fur Company. Of course there is artistic license taken however this is a fun movie and the canoe scenes are good as well as a fairly authentic portrayal of a portage. Paul Muni does a great job as Radison.
