Their shoes and caps were made of bison leather, with the hair outside.

Their necklaces were strings of grizzly-bear claws, and a "buffalo" robe was thrown over all occasionally.

Some of them occasionally had quite light skins--when free of dirt or paint--and grey eyes, and their hair, instead of being black, was greyish-brown.

These last features (grey eyes and brown hair) characterized many individuals among the northern British-Columbian tribes.
The Naskwapis of inland Labrador--allied in speech to the Kris and the Montagnais, but in blood to the Eskimo--are described as above the middle size in height, slender, and long-legged, their cheeks being very prominent, eyes black, nose rather flat, mouth large, lips thick, teeth white, hair rough and black, and the complexion a yellowish "frog" colour.

They were dressed in elaborate and warm garments made of reindeer skin.
