Elder Ted Toulouse, from Sagamok Anishnawbek First Nation, shows a birch tree that he harvested the bark from two years ago, demonstrating that the tree survives but also that the bark that regenerates there is stronger and thicker. This is the type of bark used for the birch bark container (mokuk) shown in GKS record #25724 from the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History (item 278120). Narrated and transcribed in Ojibwe. Video made by Ted Toulouse, Alan Corbiere, and Evelyn Roy. To see the video, open the "Show Detailed" tab above, then look under the "Media" section.
