« Une pipe, improvisée à partir d’une pièce d’écorce de bouleau roulée etattachée avec un petit morceau de cuir brut, et , est un objet important dans la chasse à l’ours (fig. 9h). Après qu’ils aient tué un animal, les chasseurs en prélevaient un bout et fumaient ensemble. En signe de respect, ils donnaient aussi à l’ours de la fumée avec une pipe comme celle-ci (Speck, 1935, pp. 100-101). »

Citations From Vanstone (1982) Article

« An improvised pipe made from a piece of rolled birch bark tied with a short section of rawhide line is an important implement in bear hunting (fig. 9h). After an animal is killed, the hunters gather about it and smoke. Out of respect, the bear is also given a smoke with a pipe like this one (Speck, 1935, pp. 100-101). »
