The Ojibwa were people that depended on hunting and fishing in order to survive in all kinds of conditions. Depending on where the Ojibwa lived whether it was in the woodlands or the plains, they all had certain animals they would hunt or fish.
The Ojibwa style of hunting was different depending on where a tribe lived. The woodland Ojibwa would hunt small game because big game wasn't always available. While they hunted the small game, the plain Ojibwa would hunt the big game because the small game wasn't as available to them as it was the woodland Ojibwa. The buffalo (along with the deer) was one of the biggest parts of the Ojibwa’s diet. In order for
the Ojibwa to get to a lot of the deer, they would the wolf’s tracks because they knew that it always lead to deer or any other kind of food.
Buffalo and deer wasn't always he only things the Ojibwa would eat. Their dogs were the most domestic animals that they had, but it was a favored dish at their feasts. The Ojibwa also trapped beaver because the beaver during the winter always got fat to conserve heat but in the mean time their fur would get thicker as well. I order to get the beaver the Ojibwa would have to be skilled trappers but not just for beavers but for other small and medium game a well.
The Ojibwa couldn't just survive on land animals but they had to depend on fish as well. One of the fish that was a big part of their diet was sturgeon. The Ojibwa valued the sturgeon for their flesh.
The fishing was mostly done by the women who would do it only during the summer and fall but not winter and spring. Fishing was done in many ways. The Ojibwa would use t
heir spears for smaller fish and they would use traps for big and small fish. The net was used for any kind of fish but mostly for big amounts. They would also use a hook and line (and no pole) for any kind of fish. The Ojibwa always had ways to cook and preserve fish as well.
