« The stave of a toy bow was made with a crooked knife froma single piece of birchwood and lacks backing. Both the back and front are slightly convex and the sides are flat. Paired V-shaped notches at the sides are cut near the end of each horn for attachment of the bow string which is made of commercial two ply cord (fig. 31). Associated with this bow is a toy arrow, the shaft of which is circular in cross section and made of birchwood. The proximal end of the shaft is flattened on opposite sides and a notch is cut in the end at right angles to the flattened surfaces; there are no feathers. This type of arrow, which would have been used primarily for game birds such as ptarmigan and spruce grouse, had no attached point. The distal end of the shaft widens to form an enlarged striking surface (fig. 3m). In the past, the neighboring Mistassini Indians used the bow and arrow for hunting caribou as well as a variety of small game animals and birds (Rogers, 1967, p. 67). Small bows and arrows were used in a divination game for predicting the number of otters to be killed on a future hunt (Speck, 1930, pp. 429-430, fig. 109; 1935, p. 198). A label in Speck's handwriting attached to the bow indicates that it was collected at the Kiskisink settlement. » Vanstone, James W.

« A variant of the cup and pin game consists of a bundle of cedar twigs wrapped in string. At the proximal end is fastened a length of twine to which is attached a wooden pin which tapers to a point at its distal end (fig. 29a). This game was used in gambling and simply for amusement. It also was associated with increasing luck in hunting (Speck, 1935, pp. 198-199; Tanner, 1979, p. 129). » Vanstone, James W.

« Four specimens which do not belong in this section are described here for convenience sake, since they do not readily fit into other sections either. One specimen is a crudely shaped piece of curved wood which is described as a hook for drying clothes in a tent. It has two suspension holes at the proximal end (fig. 9d). » Vanstone, James W.

« Two pot hooks of alder twigs are bent at one end to form a loop and lashed with spruce root. At the other end a hook is formed by a small branch (fig. 5c). » Vanstone, James W.

«The collection contains twowooden netfloats, both ofwhich are intended for use with summer nets. Each is approximately circular in cross section and notched at one end (fig.3c-d). Floats were attached to the selvage line of thenet with twine. Similar floats are described and illustrated for theMistassini by Rogers (1967,p. 86, fig.49). » Vanstone, James W.

« There are two beach pebble net sinkers, one of gray limestone and the other of granitic material (fig. 3k). A piece of twine is attached about the center of each sinker; the other end would be attached to the bottom line. » Vanstone, James W.

« A single gill net is in very fragile condition, and its total length cannot be determined with certainty, although it appears to be at least 35 m long and 40 cm wide. The meshes are square and approximately 5 cm on a side. The net is made from light twine knotted with a weaver's knot. The selvage lines, placed along the top and bottom edges, are of a heavier twine than that used for the mesh. The manner in which the selvage lines are attached to the net is described in some detail for Mistassini nets by Rogers (1967, pp. 85-86). According to Speck's notes, a net of this type was "for general purposes" but it would seem to be too light for taking large fish.» Vanstone, James W.
