Rowanoak

A central-East-Coast tribe of indigenous folks who paddled dugout canoes.
"History was kind to me" here --- twice over, in fact --- in dat these seashore-dwelling Natives actually did use watercraft made from hollowed-out tree trunks, and durable long-lasting oak was indeed a preferred wood for canoes, although not in da area where da feather-decoration-wearing populous in question was located. So while a number of da North American tribes did indeed "Rowanoak" when commuting by water, da "Roanoke" people probably seldom did; most likely their boats were made from tulip tree or white cypress trunks.
