Micmac boxes were made of birch.
Exclusive to the Micmac of the Atlantic provinces is the insertion of decorative painted porcupine spines into the birch bark, applied primarily to boxes with lids.
Bark and quills were applied slightly wet, a small hole was made in the bark into which the quill was inserted.
Once the bark was dried, it contracted, fixing the quill firmly.
The Micmac’s initial designs were inspired by dreams and the figures depicted on the objects provided protection, health and power.
