New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.12. « The remaining seven tobacco pouches are rectangular in shape and close with semi-circular flaps. » Ibis « Two pouches from the neighboring Chicoutimi band are made of imported sealskin. » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.13. « The second sealskin pouch has a floral ornament in green, yellow, blue, red, and white beads on the flap and on the back, where there is also a beaded wheel-like design. Around the edge of the flap are small loops of yellow and white beads (fig. 20e). » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.13, fig 20e (p.48). « Speck (1935, pp. 190-191) has noted that for the Montagnais, the symbolic pictorial representation of a plant or animal was equivalent to the actual plant or animal and those portrayed were believed to come under the control of the individual human spirit. Dreams played a major part in suggesting the relationship between specific animals or plants and an individual. The spirit was strengthened by having its dream promptings obeyed and success in subsistence activities was thereby assured. » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.10.
