Arts and crafts produced by all of Quebecs
aboriginal nations are represented in our store; naturally, local Wendat products are our
speciality.
The speciality of the house, manufactured right here in Wendake, are snowshoes made out
of ash and raw pre-tanned cow- or moose-hide leather thonging.
We also offer a choice of "Mukluks", the Indian name for winter boots;
snowshoe enthusiasts will find them absolutely indispensable.
There are a number of native-style models of boots for snowshoeing. We have sizes to
fit each and every member of the family. When designed with a removable lining, these
boots are strictly for snowshoeing, but they serve as everyday boots when lined with real
wool.
A persons choice of snowshoes is determined by his or her weight and by how the
equipment is to be used during the outing. Normally the model will be of a traditional
style with a pointed back end, making the snowshoe slide more effectively and therefore
easier to use.
The outdoor worker, mountain climber or hunter will opt for the totally round
"bear-claw" model, a style of snowshoe that makes difficult-to-reach places more
accessible.
The newest "Ski-Doo" snowshoes feature a remodelled bear-claw design. This is
the favourite model of nature lovers, including men, women and children alike.
The new generation of snowshoers will be attracted by our top-of-the-line aluminium
models. They require absolutely no upkeep and are guaranteed for at least one year.
Theyre the ideal snowshoe for use on ice, wet snow or mountainous terrain.
