I am the new proud owner of this canoe hood ornament. Now, which vehicle… I am restoring a classic truck that will be my next tripping vehicle, but it goes against my “keep it original” sensibilities… I’ll have to give it some thought, but I couldn’t pass it up.
Very unusual find. I've never seen a hood ornament like it. Are the canoe racks on your classic truck going to be original? If not . . . .
My guess is that this was originally mounted on a trophy from a canoe race.
The eight foot model and two dioramas below at the former factory store at the Old Town Canoe Company are probably more traditional examples of canoe art.

Put it on the hood.
I am looking for a hood ornament for my new Ram diesel.

I visited the Peabody Museum (https://peabody.harvard.edu/) in Cambridge, Massachusetts a few weeks ago to see a very popular Wabanaki paddle. A drawing of it appears in The Bark Canoes and Skin Boats of North America by Edwin Tappan Adney and Howard I. Chapelle. I was surprised to find that the design appears to be simply painted on and not etched as described on the tag. See https://www.wcha.org/forums/index.php?threads/18569/ for more details.

Is the title of this sculpture, “Klingon Courting Canoe”?
"The sculpture depicts Robert Rogers, who commanded the famous Rogers’s Rangers, and five Mohicans paddling a birch-bark style canoe."

That one didn't come off the form right
I didn't know Escher made canoes
It's a capsize proof canoe for extreme rapids, or surf.
The Secrets Of The Group Of Seven Continue To Be Discovered
"Their paintbrushes swept expertly through the oil paint, not unlike their paddles cut deftly through the water. It’s been 101 years since the Group of Seven first showed their works in downtown Toronto, Canada, and helped shape a distinctive Canadian art style."
"Many of their iconic images would have been impossible to create without canoes to access the painting sites."
How Art Has Inspired A Scavenger Hunt In Canada's Wilderness
101 years later, people are still searching for these famed locations.

"Because the Group of Seven did not keep notes of where each artwork was made, each painting is a puzzle waiting to be solved. The hunt to identify the locations of the sketches and paintings and the routes the Group paddled is at the heart of the McGuffins’ 2015 film Painted Land: In Search of the Group of Seven."
