Jed,

Check out this recent post http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/cgi-bin/KBbbs.cgi?read=21849

"The Bark Canoes and Skin Boats of North America" by Adney and Chapelle should be helpful. You might also find some from the Smithsonian. Try http://www.si.edu/nmah/csr/hot/shipplan.htm

There hase been a lot of discussion on this topic recently so check out the posts for the past few weeks.
