OJIBWA TRAVEL, AND SHELTER
By: Madison
HOW OJIBWA ADAPTED TO THEIR ENVIRONMENT
Ojibwa people adapted to their environment by making canoes.
and made their cloths out of the environment around them.
For their food they went in the canoes they made out of birch bark and hunted for fish in the lake they lived by.
WHAT OJIBWA PEOPLE LIVED IN
You are probably, wondering what do Ojibwa people live in?
Well, they lived in birch bark wigwams. Wigwams are round and tall houses that
Ojibwa people made out of birch bark and long grass pieces.
Ojibwa people made a fire inside their homes so they could be warm in the middle of the night.
HOW OJIBWA PEOPLE TRAVELED
You are probably wondering how did Ojibwa people travel?
They usually traveled in birch bark canoes. Ojibwa canoes were very hard to make. It takes a lot of energy to make these canoes. Canoes can also be made out of birch bark,
and some special string they made out of dried out grass.
OJIBWA SHELTER
Ojibwa people usually get really cold in the middle of the night.
That is because they live in a wigwam that does have heat.
Ojibwa people did not have heat back then. So they had to make a fire. They made a fire by using two pieces of wood One with 4 holes in it and one without any holes. Then you have to take a piece of string and a
stick and twist the stick with the string. Then when it starts a to smoke blow on it and
then it will make a fire.
WHERE OJIBWA MIGRATED
Ojibwa migrated from the Atlantic coast to the upper peninsula.
Sense Ojibwa is part of the three fires, the other part of the three fires migrated somewhere else near by were we live.
Ojibwa had to migrate across the water which back then the water was pure ice.
Sense it was ice when they migrated they did not have to use any traveling item like a, canoe, or a boat.
They just had to walk across the ice with their legs.
OJIBWA IN THE WINTER
In the winter Ojibwa had to make their own blankets and make their own fires.
Ojibwa had to make a lot of blankets because they were the biggest group in the hole three fires.
Ojibwa probably had to work the hardest out of all the three fires because like I said they are the biggest group out of the hole three fires.
HOW OJIBWA MADE THEIR WIGWAMS
Ojibwa people made their wigwams a very common way.
They made it with birch bark, dry grass string, and some long pieces of grass put together.
They used the grass put together to make the bottom of the wigwam.
They used the birch bark to make all the rest of the wigwam covered.
Finally they used the dried grass string to tie the whole wigwam together.
HOW OJIBWA MADE THEIR CANOES
Ojibwa basically made their canoes the same way as they made their houses. (Wigwams.)
They had to use the same things as they used with their houses.
They used dried grass, and birch bark. You can see that’s basically the same thing
as the home, but for the canoe they did not use the dried grass stuck together!
They only used the single piece of dried grass.
HOW DID OJIBWA MAKE SO MANY THINGS FOR THEIR BIG FAMILY
Well they only had so many people so they were able to have almost every body to help make what they needed in live.
Ojibwa people did not have that much trouble making things because like I said they had a fairly large family.
OJIBWA QUILTS
Here are some pictures of quilts, that Ojibwa made with their family out of different materials.
