- Voici comment le récit présente la scène illustrée : "Their bows and arrows, though their original weapons are, since the introduction of fire-arms among them become of little use, except in killing deer as they walk or run through a narrow pass prepared for their reception, where several Indians lie concealed for that purpose. This method of hunting is only practicable in Summer, and on the barren ground, where they have an extensive prospect, and can see the herds of deer at a great distance, as well as discover the nature of the country, and make every necessary arrangement for driving them through the narrow defiles.” p. 320-321. […] "In the fall of the year, and as the Winter advances, those people sew the skin of the deers legs together in the shape of long portmanteaux, which, when hauled on the snow as the hair lies, are as slippery as an otter, and serve them as temporary sledges while on the barren ground ; but when they arrive at any woods, they then make proper sledges, with thin boards of the larch-tree generally known in hudson’s Bay by the name of Juniper.” p. 324. […] "Their snow-shoes differ from all others made use of those parts ; for though they are of the gallery kind, that is, sharp-pointed before, yet they are always to be worn on one foot, and cannot be shifted from side to side, like other shoes ; for this reason the inner-side has a very large sweep. The frames are generally made of birch-wood, and the netting is composed of thongs of deer-skin ; but their mode of filling that compartment where the foot rests, is quite different from that used among the Southern Indians.” p. 325.
