- Description
-
Oblong piece of birchwood, pointed at both ends and perforated in the centre. Used to weave snowshoes into tight knots. Efficient tools like this can be passed down from generation to generation within a family.
Sinew needles vary in size among First Peoples. Wanda Crépeau-Etapp notes that this needle is wider than that used by the Innu, for example. - Format
