« The Speck collection contains nine tobacco pouches. Two of these are of the roll-up variety, consisting of two rectangular pieces of skin, one much longer than the other, sewn together on three sides. The larger piece serves as a flap when the pouch is rolled. » 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.12. « The other roll-up pouch is from Kiskisink and is made of muskrat skin. It is in extremely poor condition, ties with a strip of cotton cloth, and lacks a fastener. » Ibis.

« 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. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec." Fieldiana. Anthropology. New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.8, fig 5d (p.33).

Burden basket. Rectangular with three separated rows of animal designs covering all four sides. The figures are reddish-brown bark, with a lighter (yellowish) grass as background. The upper outside edge is reinforced with a rectangular loop of thick metal (telegraph) wire, held on with hide and fibre loops. The inside base is reinforced with a rectangular loop of root, bent at three corners.

Woven belt with bone attachments. Wide belt is made in a tight basket weave from thin strips of light and dark brown leather. Buckle is made of two pieces of bone, smoothly carved into rectangles, with a prong nailed to one that fits into a tube joint in the other. Several figures are etched into the bone, including a hunter and a woman in lightweight clothing, and tools such as an oil lamp, ulu, and chopper, among others. Back of belt has similar pieces attached, with images including a walrus and person paddling a boat. Two small undecorated buttons and a long undecorated loop are also attached to the back. Many of the images are accompanied by small Inuktitut syllabics.

Sealskin pouch. Small bag is rounded on bottom with a flap covering the opening at top. No handles are present. Bag is made from light brown leather with dark brown piping at the edges, and circular and square patches of the same set at regular intervals on front and edge for decoration. A curved piece of bone, flattened on front surface, serves as a handle for the flap and is etched and painted with the silhouette of a seal. A tie is attached to two of the decorative circles on the front, which loops over the bone to hold the pouch closed.

Two model harpoons, lashed together in a cross-shape with a leather thong. Each has a wood handle, squared and thick at top, narrowing toward bottom where the larger one is capped by a small rounded piece of antler. The tops of each hold a pointed rod of tusk attached to the handle by strips of leather that pierce the wood and antler, and are tied off along the shaft. The thongs attaching the harpoons hold small projectile points, one of metal set in antler, the other with both point and body carved of antler.

Ceremonial war club. Club stick (part a) is long and relatively straight, covered in brown canvas and red felt. Ends are wrapped with narrow strips of fur. Top has an open loop created out of fur. Along the length of the stick are three tassels of horse hair, and several areas of blue glass beading, with the occasional inclusion of some brass beads. Part b is a round, hide wrapped stone. One half of the hide covering is painted dark blue. A braided thong of leather is sewn to the seams of the hide, and attaches two large cream and brown feathers and smaller red feathers with pink beading at the quills, and black glass beads around the thong, to the stone.
