Illus. p. 90 in Turner, Lucien M., Scott A. Heyes, and K. M. Helgen. 2014. Mammals of Ungava & Labrador: the 1882-1884 fieldnotes of Lucien M. Turner together with Inuit and Innu knowledge. Identified there as bird net made by the Innu from Caribou leather.

From card: "The basket carries a floral design on top and sides. Made by using white and yellow porcupine quills. Embroidered."It is possible that this object has the same provenance/was acquired in the same place as the small bark canoe E379948, as both artifacts are listed in the accession file and on their cards as Montagnais from Quebec. Written on E379948 in old handwriting: "Chicoutimi, Chateau Saguenay, made by Montagnais Indians"; there also appears to be a price marked of "25." Chicoutimi is a town name, which is now part of Saguenay, Quebec. Chateau Saguenay was the name of a tourist hotel, built in 1898. Per Adriana Greci Green, the style of manufacture of this box resembles Odawa/Anishinaabe or Ojibwa more than Montagnais.
