Not only did they use it they are said to have invented it. In fact, our word "toboggan" comes from the Mi'kmaq "taba'gan." Toboggans were traditionally made out of bark and animal skins. They were constructed of long, thin strips of cedarwood about 6 feet long. They were used by hunters, trappers and families to transport food and furs. Toboggans were ideal for hauling heavy loads in deep snow. The curved front allowed the toboggan to ride easily over mounds and bumps with less effort than other sleds.
