Translation Of Citations From Vanstone (1982) Article
« Un contenant d’écorce de bouleau non décoré, semblant inachevé, sert de large seau à fruits. Comme les paniers décrits précédemment, il est fabriqué à partir d’une seule pièce pliée et cousue d’écorce dont la surface extérieure fait face vers l’intérieur. La couture a été faite avec de la ficelle et il y a une large pièce rectangulaire sur le côté ; il n’y a pas de rebord (fig. 15). Un spécimen similaire, qui lui est terminé, est fait d’un couvercle plat et est illustré par Speck (1930, p. 441, fig. 115). Des paniers de ce genre devaient aussi être utilisés pour ranger le poisson séché et broyé. »

Citations From Vanstone (1982) Article
« An undecorated birch bark container is a large berry pail that may be unfinished. Like the previously described baskets, it is made from a single folded and sewn piece of bark with the outer surface facing inside. The sewing has been done with string and there is a large, rectangular patch on one side; there is no rim (fig. 15). A similar but finished specimen with a flat lid is illustrated by Speck (1930, p. 441, fig. 115). Such baskets might also have been used for storing dried and pounded fish. »
