Howley, op. cit., pp. 31-33, quotes Cart wright in full and also gives figures of miniature canoes in his own collection (pls. XXXI, xxxrv). 23. Cormack in his Journal says that the Mic mac whom he met in the interior of the island told him that the Red Indians used skin canoes similar to their own (quoted by Howley, op. cit., p. 152, also p. 213) 24. This information is confirmed by Denys (1672) who describes in some detail the method of applying the colors. (Cf. Nicholas Denys, The Description and Natural History of the Coasts of North America, edition of the Champlain Society, Toronto, 1908, by W. F. Ganong. p. 411.) Le Clercq mentions the same thing. (Cf. Chrestien Le Clercq, New Relation of Gaspesia, edition of the Champlain Society, Toronto, 1910, by W. F. Ganong, p. 96.) 25. Another name is Ic'btt't'k', a term possibly of English origin, from "the boots." Cf. also Rand, Micmac Dictionary, p. 41. 26.

The same thing is common among the Micmac and the rest of the northern and eastern Algonkian. 27. Rand (Micmac Dictionary, p. 161) has tiltdktd'gilnd', "loom," and (p. 278) eltdktddgd, "to weave." 28. Mention of weaving on a frame was made by Nicholas Denys (1672), op, cit. Rand (Micmac-English Dictionary, p. 255) gives wiskobooksoon, "straps." 29. Rand (Micmac Dictionary, p. 249) gives mimiindd', "to spin flax on a little wheel." 30. F. G.
