Innu Narrative:
“It is also used for fishing. You spear a fish. There is a line that goes with it. The line is from a caribou hide. This was done long ago. This spear is used for fishing for salmon. At the end of the pole, you make a gap with a sharpened blade like metal, and it is placed in the middle of the gap of the pole.” Shimun Michel and Manian (Ashini) Michel

“The Innu used this spear like [a] pole with spike and two sticks curved on each side to hold the fish when it is speared. This was done in the old times, before the nets were used.” Joseph Abraham (interview with Brenda Sakauye and Alex Andrew, 2 February 1979. Innu Nation data base)
“He also mentioned a tactic that they had used to get the fish like salmon from the rivers. This kill tactic was using a long pole and attached at the front were two curved sticks with a spike in the middle where the fish were speared. This was done in the night times, using the bark of the birch trees as a torch. This was before nets were used.” Simeo Penashue (interview with Alex Andrew, 12 January 1979. Innu Nation data base)
“In the old days he says they used a harpoon-like thing (Uashukaask) to get the salmon. And they used to go after the salmon in summer when dusk sets in. They would use a torch (using bark of a birch tree) so they could see the salmon swimming along.” Jerome Pokue (interview with Alex Andrew, 6 December 1978. Innu Nation data base)
