"The canoe race, the exhibition of this excercise showcase the coming together of a people coming from two different coast areas. It is also an instrument of survival in the sense that by the canoe one does fishing, can go and cultivate crops in island areas, and the canoe is like the horse, or even like the car for the Massa people at the moment".
