    I found these at the flea market last sunday. I used to snowshoe back in new england as a kid and when i picked these up, i knew they were very good. they are extremely light and beautifully made. I was told that they are Eskimo, but i don't believe most of what i'm told at flea markets. For lack of a better category, i'll put this under Native American for now.

      Appear to be Cree snowshoes. Fine pair in excellent condition. The rawhide weave is lace like.

      thanks shareurpassion and Congcu. I found a few online which look very similar and attributed to Eskimo / Inuit.
