Citations From Vanstone (1982) Article
« Two pouches were collected among the Natasquan band. One, in very poor condition, is made from the skin of a loon's neck sewn on a piece of multicolored cotton cloth. The opening is edged with yellow cotton tape, and the sides and flap with purple tape. On the flap is a small, stylized floral design in blue beads. On the sides, flap, and opening are small loops of red, white, blue, and pink beads (fig. 22e). »

« Deux pochettes (blagues) ont été collectées auprès de la bande Natashquan. Une, en très mauvaise condition, est faite avec de la peau, provenant du cou d’un huard, et cousue sur un morceau de tissu en coton multicolore. L’ouverture est bordée avec du ruban de coton jaune, tandis que les côtés et le rabat sont bordés de ruban mauve. Sur le rabat se trouve un petit motif stylisé de fleur fait en perles bleues. Sur les côtés, le rabat, et l’ouverture se trouvent des petits anneaux de perles rouges, blanches, bleues et roses. »
