This cariole was collected by ethnographer Marius Barbeau in the summer of 1936. It was bought from Emilie Pelletier of St. Pascal, Kamourska County, PQ . Pelletier sold 16 items to Mr. Barbeau for 80.00 dollars. Notes on the object in Barbeau’s inventory states as follows: “‘cariole’ as it is called here; elsewhere called ‘berline’”. This perhaps refers to the object’s name based on region. Marius Barbeau was a renowned Canadian ethnographer and folklorist in the first half of the 20th century known for his work on Indigenous groups and collections of songs and stories. In 1936 and 1937 Barbeau travelled to Ile de Orleans and other locales near Quebec City and bought hundreds of agricultural and domestic artifacts for a museum first developed by the Department of Agriculture in 1920. The former Department of Agriculture museum was located on the same site as the current Agriculture and Food Museum on the Experimental Farm property. Source: Listed on page 16 as number 405 under Emilie Pelletier’s name as “Cariole” in the document “Artefacts_Min Agriculture Ottawa 1936” from the Canadian Museum of History’s archival fond entitled the Marius Barbeau fonds.
