- Description

In the old days, we were always on the move, especially in the woods. So we had to find a way to keep newborns safe and warm. We had to reproduce the feeling of security a baby had in its mother's womb. That's why, in addition to carrying the baby in the tikinagan, foam was placed in the baby's diaper. This way, the foam absorbed moisture and the baby didn't catch cold. The akish was also used for long canoe trips, or at bedtime, to keep baby dry at night. The feeling of security was important for the baby. It's important for him to be wrapped up, warm and dry.
Also used as a sanitary towel. Akish was dried in tree branches in spring and summer. The material was also worked by removing small pieces of wood from it.
Moss was also used to insulate houses, especially the sides of log cabins. - Format
