« La fabrication de raquettes parmi les Indiens du Lac-St-Jean et de Mistassini a été décrit avec beaucoup de détails par Lips (1947, pp. 69-77) et Rogers (1967, pp. 91-101). La toile était lacée avec une aiguille, dont six exemplaires sont présents dans la collection, une faite en bois et cinq en os. Ces aiguilles sont pointues aux deux extrémitées et ont un trou au centre. Toutes ont à peu près la même longueur que l’exemplaire illustré (fig. 32d,i). »

« The manufacture of snowshoes among the Lake St. John and Mistassini Indians has been described in considerable detail by Lips (1947, pp. 69-77) and Rogers (1967, pp. 91-101). The webbing was laced with a needle, of which there are six in the collection, one made of wood and five of bone. These needles are pointed at both ends and have a hole in the center. All are approximately the length of the illustrated specimens (fig. 32d,i). »
