Huron-Wendat hunter calling moose
This piece is by Cornelius Krieghoff, an artist of Dutch origin who lived in Québec City in the 19th century. We see a Huron-Wendat hunter calling moose. The technique consists of imitating the call of the moose, using the hand to form a horn. Hunting was an important activity for the Indigenous people around Québec City.
