This mukak was made by Roger Echaquan (Attikanek (Tete de Boule)) of Manouane, Quebec, in 1992. He used split spruce root to stitch it together and the design was etched into the bark. This style of container was traditionally used as a berry basket. Echaquan’s craft is a continuation of an enduring tradition of making birchbark mukaks.
