Athabascan Snowshoes

Image of snowshoes with birch frames.

Traditionally crafted Athabascan hunting-style snowshoe using local birch for the frames. The red paint on these snowshoes is in keeping with the long-standing tradition of painting snowshoes with red ochre so, in part, the blood stains from animals taken on hunting trips would not show.
