The tradition of making a dugout canoe in Polesia has received the status of an intangible historical and cultural value

The Republican Scientific and Methodological Council on Historical and Cultural Heritage unanimously supported the proposal made by the "Prypiatski National Park", reported the Ministry of Culture.

The living heritage of making the Prypiat dugout canoe is preserved in the village of Perarou, Zhytkavichy District, Gomel Region.

«The community of Perarou village considers dugout canoe making a part of its cultural heritage, passed down from generation to generation, and a factor in forming the local identity of this community: they still remember from the words of the older generation that the canoe was an essential water transport in every family, because the village is located on the bank of the Prypiat and annually during spring floods it "floated" until a dam was built», — is noted in the Ministry of Culture's channel.

The initiative to grant the tradition of canoe making in Perarou the status of an intangible historical and cultural value came from the head of the scientific department of "Prypiatski National Park" Andrei Biaspaly. Prypiat canoes are used in competitions during the ethnocultural traditions festival "Klich Paliessia" (Call of Polesia), one of the organizers of which is the National Park.

The tradition of dugout canoe making will become the 164th intangible historical and cultural value on the corresponding list.
