« The manufacture of snowshoes among the Lake St. John and Mistassini Indians has been described in considerable detail by Lips (1947, pp. 69-77) and Rogers (1967, pp. 91-101). The webbing was laced with a needle, of which there are six in the collection, one made of wood and five of bone. These needles are pointed at both ends and have a hole in the center. All are approximately the length of the illustrated specimens (fig. 32d,i). » Vanstone, James W. "The Speck Collection of Montagnais Material Culture from the Lower St. Lawrence Drainage, Quebec."

« Two styles of netted snowshoes are represented in the Speck collection by a single pair each. Both pairs have birchwood frames and babiche netting. » Vanstone, James W.

New Series, No. 5 (October 29, 1982), p.18, fig 31a et b (p.59). « The second pair of snowshoes, from the Natasquan band, is an example of the "round end" style (Davidson, 1937, pp. 67-68, fig. 27b). The frame consists of two pieces spliced on each side between the two slightly curved cross bars. There are no harnesses (fig. 31b).
