In 1990 St Pierre et Miquelon issued a stamp of 2F50 which depict a MICMAC canoe, what the Museum fur Völkrenkunde (Ethnology) inVienna, Austria has to do with this stamp, I am not sure, maybe the canoe is an exhibition piece in the museum.
The MICMAC canoe depict is a MU’SU U’LK or a Moose-hide canoe, used in the Canadian Eastern Maritime Provinces, and was most probably also used on St Pierre et Miquelon.

Hides of one-and-half or two moose were scrapped free of hair and formed into a canoe.
The dimensions were about 76 till 91cm wide and 25cm deep, not a length given.
Used mostly by winter hunters as a temporary craft to transport the game and there possessions from the woods to their camps.
The canoe is also known under the name Micmac moose-hide canoe.

Copied from Aak to Zumbra.

The Micmacs, early inhabitants of the Maritimes, migrated from the woods to the seashore each spring. Their canoes were designed to be high amidships and curved-in at the gunwales. They confidently navigated rivers, lakes and the ocean, sometimes equipped with a sail derived from the Europeans.
