In excellent condition, these traditional Ojibwe-style wooden snowshoes exemplify both craftsmanship and performance. Their distinctive shape provides outstanding flotation in open forests and deep snow fields. The narrow, upturned nose and long, tapered tail offer excellent glide on hard-packed snow, particularly when traveling downhill. Quiet and stable, this design makes for an ideal all-around snowshoe suited for long-distance travel and adventure.
The Ojibwe style takes its name from one of the largest Indigenous peoples of Canada—the Ojibwe—who historically inhabited regions along the Great Lakes in Ontario, as well as parts of western Canada and the north-central United States.
Highly aesthetic and deeply traditional, the Ojibwe snowshoe is among the oldest of all wooden snowshoe designs. Interestingly, its form closely resembles those used by ancient peoples in Siberia, Greenland, and Scandinavia many centuries ago.
Bastien Brothers were located in Village des Huron (formerly also Loretteville, now called Wendake). They were one of many First Nations builders in that region. For at least part of their history they were marketed under the name Big Chief Canoes. The firm still exists (as of 2012), but only manufactures moccasins and snowshoes today.
