The three specimens of nimaban de- scribed below are classified as the type of t he Pikwagami ("Flat lake, " Lake St John), an interior Montagnais culture interme- diate between that of the coast and that of the eastern Xaskapi and Mistassini. INDIAN NOTES HUNTING CHARMS 11 The nimaban shown in pi. I was used for a bear hunt, and is made of well- tanned moose-skin. In form it closely imitates a pack-strap, and in fact it symbolizes one. The wide part is bound on the upper edge with a red silk r...ibbon, and on the lower one with a similar ribbon of green. The scene is em- broidered in red, yellow, and light-blue sewing silks. This magical object is worn by the hunter who has had a revelation about getting game in the future. He carries this decorated strap with him on the trail, and when, true to the revelation, he gets his game, he wraps it in this strap and brings it home. The hunter keeps the strap in secret, more or less, and does not show it lest it lose its power to function as a safeguard against starvation.
