A 3,000-year-old Native American canoe recently pulled out of a Wisconsin lake is helping historians draw a firmer link between the Ho-Chunk Nation and the Great Lakes region.
The vessel, recovered from Lake Mendota in Madison last week, was carbon dated to 1,000 B.C., which surprised even the historians at the Wisconsin Historical Society. It is the oldest canoe ever found in the region, according to the historical society.
