- Description
-
Pairs of snowshoes (akimak) donated by the Natural History Society of Montreal to the McCord Stewart Museum.
Men and women worked together to make the snowshoes: the former made the wooden frame and the braiding in the middle, the latter braided the ends. The braiding in the centre of the snowshoe had to be extremely strong to support the weight of one person.
The choice and preparation of the wood used for the shaft, as well as the cutting and braiding of the skin strips, required a great deal of technical know-how. - Format
