The Ojibwe lived by Lakes, Ponds, and Marshes to collect Wild Rice in the Fall.
Wild Rice
The Ojibwe collected Wild Rice In the Fall and had a process. It was a five step process and they had to do this most during the day and a little in the night.
Rice Camps
It was a tradition for the Ojibwe every fall to have rice camps where they thought the steps of the Wild Rice process and do rice camps.
Rice Making
In the Ojibwe it was a tradition to make their own rice. The Ojibwe had a five step process that was kinda confusing. First, they had to harvest the rice with whacking sticks. Then, they had to put the rice on a big sheet of bark. After that, the men and the children wore clean moccasins and they had to grind the husks by lightly stepping on the rice. Finally, they put it in a bowl and they tossed it up in the air to get the outer covering off the rice.
