Innu Narrative:
“It’s a belt that anybody can wear from the outside of the coat, and that the wind would not go through, and also to keep warm. And it looked attractive wearing it like that. They would use a cloth belt too.” Matinen (Selma) Michelin [note – it is not clear which belt she is referring to]
“Yes, this is pukuateun.” Munik (Gregoire) Rich.
Other Info:
Note the “whale tail” design on this belt. VanStone notes that the William Duncan Strong collection at the Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, contains “a single belt constructed..with 12 warp bands of caribou skin and beaded weft bands of thread. Along each edge, beads are thread-sewn in lazy stitch to the outside warp bands, which are braided at the ends. The whale tail design is in red, green, translucent green, white pink, and blue beads.” VanStone (1985:31)
