content: Illus. p. 95 in Turner, Lucien M., Scott A. Heyes, and K. M. Helgen. 2014. Mammals of Ungava & Labrador: the 1882-1884 fieldnotes of Lucien M. Turner together with Inuit and Innu knowledge. Identified there as: "Caribou shoes that Turner collected at F. Chimo, probably in 1883. Turner described the boot making and tanning process in great detail, including how skins were softened: "The skin is seized between the teeth and chewed until it is soft. For certain skins, especially those made into boot-soles the teeth are the only means used in softening the parts which the rubbing may not do."" See pp. 93-94 in book for details on boots and the tanning process.
