caption_attribution_description: Français&#160;: qu'on peut traduire par Descente de rapide. Rabaska descendant un rapide. Ce tableau dépeint un rabaska et son équipage dans une descente de rapide. On distingue environ dix-sept hommes et une femme à bord. Le mari de Mme Hopkins travaillait pour la compagnie de la Baie d'Hudson et Mme Hopkins accompagnait son mari lors de ses voyages. Sur le tableau, une femme apparaît à gauche du pagayeur avec une chemise bleue. Probablement un auto-portrait de Mme Hopkins.&#91;1&#93;
context_page_description: A rabaska or Maître canoe was originally a large canoe made of tree bark, used by the Algonquin people.
  Rabaskas were used by French and Canadian explorers to access the interior of North America during the 17th and 18th centuries, and by travellers and traders until the end of the 19th century. Throughout this time they were key in spreading French settlers throughout North America, adapting to their new continent and developing contact with indigenous populations.
