About this episode
Our 6-part Acadiana roadtrip concludes on a bayou bank, the waft of chicken-wing smoke, fresh sawdust and wood varnishes lingering in humid air: 2 men, 2 crafts, 1 disappearing way of life. Keith Dupuy brings ancient Louisiana pirogues and dug outs back from the brink--painstakingly restoring ancient boats that once transported hunters, trappers and families throughout Louisiana's ancient marshlands. Dale Bordelon lives these traditions in real time, using ancestral old-school methods to carve dugouts and cane calls for himself and others to ensure that the tradition remains unbroken. This conversation's not about boats; it's about bygone bayou know-how and baking cultural memory into every cypress plank, every single paddle stroke.
