Collection search - [H.Y. Hind Expedition - 1857-58] Dog carioles; part of the Expedition returning to Crow Wing by the winter road

Described by the MSTRCAGE and MSTRSLID project.
During the fur trade era, the Métis used carioles in winter. Pulled by a dog team, the cariole transported a passenger or cargo. A dog team driver would run along behind the cariole sled while it was under way shouting commands to the dogs to guide their pace and direction of movement. The term cariole became more commonly used for a toboggan-like sled with sides made from hide or canvas. Birch boards were often used for the toboggan planking.
