Early Ojibwe

Fall activities
In the fall the Ojibwe went to the ponds, marshes, and lakes where the rice grew. Because the rice grew in the water, they had to harvest the rice from canoes made out of birch bark. After hours of work, the rice piled up at the bottom. Once it was harvested, they went to shore and prepare the rice for storage.
