Les robes de fourrure d'une seule pièce, comptaient au nombre des vêtements traditionnels amérindiens pour l'homme comme pour la femme. Les Indiens transformaient la peau des animaux tués à la chasse en couvertures et en vêtements. Les Indiens du Québec se couvraient de fourrures pour se protéger du froid de l'hiver. Leurs manteaux de peau étaient très simples, du genre poncho, cape ou couverture, et drapaient leurs corps. Cette coutume a été adoptée par les Blancs, qui souvent conservaient le poil des fourrures alors que les Amérindiens préféraient l'enlever. 4, record 1, French, - robe%20de%20carriole
