« Among the Mistassini, infants under a year were generally kept in what Rogers (1967, pp. 62-63) calls a "moss bag" and Speck (1930, fig. 105, p. 417) illustrates as a "baby sack." The collection contains a single baby sack, a rectangular piece of fawn skin rounded at the lower end and lined with green cotton cloth. This specimen, which seems small, may be a model. Lengths of moose skin line are sewn to the long sides and rounded distal end at approximately 4 cm intervals forming a series of loops. Another length of line is inserted through the loops so that the sides can be drawn together after the infant was placed in the sack. At the top is a rectangular strip of green cotton cloth to which are sewn a pair of moose skin loops for the adjustment of a tumpline (fig. 29d). » Vanstone, James W.
