Why do you write Inuit after attikamekw or Cree? Cree and Attikamekw people are NOT Inuit people!

The lady lacing beavertail snowshoes, picture taken by Henri Vallancourt is my mother. She went to join my dad in the spirit world on February 21, 2010 at the age of 103! I was happy to find your website!

There is nothing better than to take out your wooden snowshoes and jump into some fresh snow. Thanks for the awesome article.

Now that I see these snowshoes, I remember my first visit to relatives in Minnesota (in 1962), who immigrated from Germany. They lived on a farm where the next neighbour was in a 1 mile or more distance. And they had about 4 pairs of these snowshoes which we used for walks and visits…..How nostalgic. I just walked down memory lane. Thanks for the article!
