Canoë Huron-Wendat
Description
Canoë en écorce de bouleau orné d'une fine broderie de poils d'élan teints Petit modèle de canoë canadien fabriqué par les Hurons de Lorette (ou Hurons-Wendat) caractérisé par ses motifs décoratifs brodés de fleurs. D'un côté, le motif central, entouré d'un cartouche d'où s'élancent des végétaux, représente un Huron assis fumant le calumet devant une marmite. De l'autre, on voit un oiseau bleu. Ce type de broderie et la forme du canoë - extrémités arrondies et relevées haut en pointe - ainsi que le mode de ligature, le font attribuer aux Hurons-Wendat, seuls Iroquois à s'être alliés aux Français installés en 1697 près de Québec et de Loretteville
