Why we like this gift

Much like other objects of material culture, First Nations used to decorate paddles with designs reflecting spiritual beliefs and family ties. Onquata means to revive this culture by offering these great creations to the world. The owners, from the Wendat community, are on a mission to make people adopt these great paddles in their homes for decoration. We agree! They look great and contemporary even if their spirit is from the past.

Why we like this gift

Great to add a cabin-like feeling into your design, this paddle will bring a great deal of authenticity to the interior. Onquata, the company that designs and builds these, is working mainly with First Nations to bring these great paddles to the world. Here, the pattern on the paddle is an arrow with colours lemon yellow, white, and light grey. A great gift for a mom that loves decorative objects or for any person that holds a nice and authentic interior.
