Wampo is a vessel that is constructed from single piece of tree trunk.[1] These canoes are not only used for travelling, but also for gainful activities on water.[2] Not all trees were selected for building a wampo, but old and robust specimens were the ones chosen.[3]

Wampos have been used since pre-Hispanic times.
