Paddle Tripod
From the New Brunswick museum archives is this photo featuring paddles rigged up in a tripod.

The rigged tripod is similar to what I've seen documented in an earlier
post about Canadian artist Paul Kane.

A full colour painting entitled, Indian Encampment at Georgian Bay (1850) features a similar paddle tripod on the left side of the image.
