Nastawgans Being Made Available
The 'Nastawgan' , meaning the routes and ways of the elders of the past, is also the name of the Quarterly Journal that has been produced by the Wilderness Canoe Association (WCA) since about 1974.
The 'Nastawgan' is a treasure trove of articles and reports about wilderness travel and informs members of WCA trips and issues in the paddling community. There are many submissions by both club members and other like-minded outdoor adventurers.
The WCA would like to share its wealth of canoeing & wilderness information with as many people as possible so is making its Nastawgan journal available here on CCR. It will gradually be made available as described below:
- Current year issues are only available on the WCA website for members of the WCA .
- All other issues from 1974 onwards to 2018 are now available on this site: myccr.com/nastawgan/digitized or alternatively, click on the Nastawgan section in the left column (Digitized -> year group -> year -> season) to find the issue you want
