"The We'-ba-zha-bi, an implement made from the leg bone of an
elk, the lower end serrated, and a leather band fastened below
the ball of the joint, forming the top of the scraper. This was
the first instrument used in skin dressing, with it all bits of
fat or flesh were removed and the pelt made ready for the next
instrument"(La Flesche 1898:27)"The second implement used was
the We'-u-hi. It was made from the antler of the elk. The sharp
knife bound on by sinew used to be of flint. With it she evened
the hide after it had passed through a process of soaking and
drying"(La Flesche 1898:27-28)"The third implement used, the
We'-ba-mon, a flaked stone, with which the hide is made soft and
flexible, and prepared for the final process of rubbing with a
raw-hide rope"(La Flesche 1898:28).
