Indian tribes of British Columbia [Les tribus indiennes de Colombie Britannique].

Résumé

Anderson of the Hudson's Bay Company in his notes written between 1834 and 1867: The skins of the marmot sewed together make a light warm robe. The rocky mountain marmot (hoary marmot) of the mainland are generally grey in colour whilst the marmot of Vancouver Island and some of the Northern mountains are black or very dark brown. Robes made of alternate grey and black skins are very effective and valuated accordingly.
