« A pair of short leggings from the Natasquan band is made of white duffel with strips of red and green wool felt sewn at the seam which runs down the side of the leg. There is a strap of duffel to go around the foot and a triangular piece of the same material is sewn so as to extend over the instep. The upper end of these leggings is edged with a strip of plaid cotton cloth. Just below the edge is a decorative band of blue cotton cloth with geometric designs in purple and black. The lower edge is decorated with feather stitched red yarn (fig. 25a). According to Speck's notes, this type of legging was adapted by eastern bands of Montagnais as a result of contact with Eskimos. » Vanstone, James W.
