Description: Piobik (metal) inserted in a cylindrical birchwood handle. This tool is used to drill holes in moose, bear or beaver hides to make shelters and blankets. Moose hide is ideal for shelter construction, as it is very thick and waterproof. The wood used to make the awl handle comes from birch, a tree of great importance to the Anishinabek. By being transformed into a tool, the birch fulfills its responsibility to humans, who in turn bring it to life.
Tool also used to drill holes in the birchbark to make canoes.

This type of tool was probably used as early as the 17th century, when communities had access to metal.
