Members of the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana traveled to a location south of Donaldsonville Saturday where an ancient dugout canoe of Chitimacha origin was found by the owner of a dirt sales business. The vessel was excavated under the direction of the Louisiana Department of Archaeology. The vessel must be kept covered and wet to prevent destruction.The full story will be told later this week in the Banner-Tribune.
