hand painted paddles inspired by First Nations culture

Inspired by Indigenous art and nature, Onquata creates decorative, water-resistant aspen paddles crafted by Wendat artisans in Wendake, an Indigenous territory in the heart of Québec City. The mother-daughter team of Lise and Lara views their work as a natural extension of ancestral utility. Beautifying everyday objects is a proud part of Wendat heritage, and humble paddles become contemporary works of art when adorned with ONQUATA’s elegant designs. Onquata is also a brand-new, one-of-a-kind storefront workshop located on Wendake’s main street. We offer a wide variety of exclusive 100% Indigenous-made products in a warm, inspiring space that is truly worth the visit. Our artisan goods and paddles are designed and crafted on site, allowing visitors to experience Wendat know-how at the very heart of its creation. Order online boutique or come meet us in Wendake for an authentic and unforgettable experience.
