Anisinabes hunted, fished and trapped. They gathered wild rice and made maple sugar. They farmed squash and maize. Anisinabe created sacred birch-bark scrolls in which they recorded their tribal history. Some believe that the word ‘Ojibwa’ is derived from ‘o-jib-i-weg’ which means, “Those who Make Pictographs.” Anisinabe also practiced the Sun Dance. Anisinabe did not move around as much as other tribes. They built wigwams and also made birch-bark canoes. Their society was organized around clans named for totem animals.
