Description

On page 225 of the issue, there is an article by Vincent M. Petrullo titled "Decorative Art on Birch-Bark Containers from the Algonquin River du Lièvre Band." It describes the shape and design of five bark containers, noting their similarities to ones made at Kitiganik ("Lac Barrière") and Kitigan Zibi ("River Desert").

From these objects, the author identifies the existence of a true Anicinabe artistic tradition: "the complexity and sophistication of the designs and the use of related design schemes would relate them to one another. There is present the injection of the individual's subjective interpretation of this art tradition, with its detractions, additions, and modifications."
