« Speck (1935, pp. 190-191) a noté que pour les Montagnais, la représentation symbolique picturale d’une plante ou d’un animal était équivalente à la plante ou à l’animal en question et ils croyaient que les sujets de ces représentations se retrouvaient sous le contrôle de l’esprit humain de l’individu. Les rêves jouaient un rôle majeur en suggérant des liens entre une personne et certains animaux ou certaines plantes spécifiques. L’esprit était renforcé lorsqueles conseils exprimés par les rêves étaient suivis et le succès des activités de subsistance était alors assuré. »

« Speck (1935, pp. 190-191) has noted that for the Montagnais, the symbolic pictorial representation of a plant or animal was equivalent to the actual plant or animal and those portrayed were believed to come under the control of the individual human spirit. Dreams played a major part in suggesting the relationship between specific animals or plants and an individual. The spirit was strengthened by having its dream promptings obeyed and success in subsistence activities was thereby assured. »
