The Inland NW Canoe Club was formed in 2023 as a 501c3 entity.
Included in this club are both the Coeur d’Alene Club, as well as the Montana Canoe Club. These clubs paddle on both Lake Coeur d’Alene and Flathead Lake.
These groups work hand-in-hand together, creating community around the canoe with a focus on honoring the traditions of both Native American and Hawaiian canoe culture and protecting our Mother Earth and the waters on which we paddle.
We honor the path they have always shown us in caring for this place for the generations to come.
We believe that by connecting communities through the shared traditions of paddling and the canoe, we can indeed foster a sense of peace and unity. And we believe that by embracing diverse cultural histories, we will continue to add richness to the tapestry of our paddling community. We hope you will join us!
The mission of the Montana Canoe Club / Inland Northwest Canoe club focuses
on reviving, developing, and perpetuating Hawaiian and Native American culture and
traditions related to canoeing and water sports through instruction and training.
Our vision is to provide opportunities for all to enjoy the community that paddling brings to people of all ages, ethnic backgrounds and physical abilities.
