Canoë micmac
Description
Canoë des Indiens Micmacs. En écorce de bouleau blanc, ce canoë est orné de motifs brodés en piquants d'erethizon, porc épic américain. D'après la forme aux extrémités arrondies et d'après les motifs, on peut attribuer ce type de canoë aux Micmacs, premiers Amérindiens en contact avec les Français, dont le territoire s'étend sur le Nouveau-Brunswick et les îles de la Nouvelle-Ecosse, Cap-Breton et du Prince Edward. Il est brodé aux extrémités d'une étoile de mer à huit pointes, caractéristique du décor des Micmacs et d'une frise à damiers sur les flancs
