A very unique set of antique Ojibwa/ Chippewa snowshoes. Notice the classic upturned tips and two piece design. Unique vintage green paint combined with a traditional Native mid section, outer babiche wrap, reinforced tip cross bar and cotton lacing make for a wonderful display piece. Many Native First Nation people crafted snowshoes in this style including the Cree, Nascapi, Montagnais and others.
