« A man's hat is made from a strip of lynx fur sewn to a heavy cotton lining. On the top is an ornament made from a piece of a woodchuck's tail which, according to Speck, serves as a charm worn by the hunter when he goes out to cut birch bark for making a canoe. » 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.16.
