It was discovered 250 yrs ago on someone's estate? Do you think they
were automotive engineers? Did you even read the article?

Yes I did read the article. did you?

It was built possibly 250 years ago and found in a barn on a
historical estate. But please humour me. What native tribe constructed
it and from which University did they recieve their engineering
degree?

Beavers build dams and lodges on streams up here. Darn liberal arts
majors.

?? You claimed that some sort of engineering major found it or made
it. It's unclear.

Not sure what beavers have to do with engineering degrees, but I'm
sure you'll enlighten us at some point.

Did you read the article ?

In the 2nd paragraph it says: " and was brought to England by Lt John
Enys in 1776 after fighting in the American War of Independence."

Is England still in Ontario?

Very true. However Mr. White unless I'm reading too much into another
article, the boat probably originated in Quebec.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-11954324

"It is believed the Canadian boat was brought to Cornwall by Lt John
Enys who fought in Quebec during the American War of Independence.

The canoe will be preserved and put on display to the public at the
National Maritime Museum in Falmouth before being repatriated to
Canada.

Historians believe the boat could possibly be one of the oldest birch
bark canoes in existence.

The museum's boat collections manager Andy Wyke said: "Lt Enys sailed
from Falmouth in a packet ship to join his regiment in Canada to
relieve the city of Quebec which was under siege from the Americans. "
