Red River Cart

Red River Cart:
No iron was used. The frame was held together with wooden pegs. The tires were bound with strips of "shagannappi", raw fresh skin of buffalo or cattle, which as it dried, shrank and held them tightly, forming a hard and durable rim. These carts followed the Metis hunting parties and carried the meat of the slain buffalo. They were also employed in transporting freight. Sometimes they were fitted with a round-topped hood of hide or canvas.
