According to the description, the canoe was made by John "Stephen" Rafuse. The exterior of the canoe has painted a deep shade of green, however the interior remains an unpainted. Root lashings aren't visible and there appears to be a green painted inwale so it is likely held together with nails.
Another shot from the Museum's exhibit page shows the same canoe with a fishing net and an accompanying green paddle...
