« Closely resembling a tumpline is the ceremonial game carrying string, which was an important item in the religious equipment of hunters and was related to the placation of game animals. Such "strings" and their significance are described by Rogers (1967, p. 114) and, in considerable detail, by Speck (1935, pp. 203-212) and Speck and Hyde (1921). The collection contains a single example made of two pieces of tanned moose skin 233 cm long which widens in the center to a width of 3 cm. The two pieces are sewn together with twine at the center of the widened section. At intervals along the entire length are sewn strips of red wool felt and short pieces of silk-wrapped cording which symbolize game (fig. 32k). » Vanstone, James W.

« The collection contains two tumplines which, among the Mistassini, were used primarily during the summer to carry canoes and supplies and to pack game (Rogers, 1967, p. 114). Both specimens are made of tanned moose skin. The longest is 655 cm in length and consists of three pieces: two narrow strips of approximately the same length and a wider lenticular shaped piece sewn in the center with twine. This wider section, which would pass across the forehead when the tumpline was in use, is 6 cm wide in the center. The second tumpline is slightly more than half as long as the previously described specimen and is made from one piece of skin which widens in the center to a width of 3.5 cm (fig. 32j). » 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.18, fig 32j (p.60).

« A knife sheath, probably for an instrument with a metal blade, is made from a single piece of moose skin. A fringe of the same material has been sewn into the seam and there is a loop at the proximal end for attachment to a belt (fig. 5d). » Vanstone, James W.

Quill loom. A piece of willow wood is bent into a bow to support the weaving. At one end is attached a short strip of moosehide held in place by a pin topped with a red plastic ball. To the hide is sewn several cotton threads. Near their opposite ends, the threads pierce a thin rectangle of cardboard that keeps them separated; they are then tied to the other end of the wood. Woven into the threads are porcupine quills dyed multiple colours, creating cream-coloured diamonds on a background of alternating areas of light green, dark pink, and yellow. Borders of white and yellow line each side of the weaving. The quills have not been trimmed.

Woven into the threads are porcupine quills dyed multiple colours, creating patterns of 'X's and diamonds on a cream-coloured background. The quills have been cut to a length of approximately 1 cm at the back of the weaving.
