Homes and Shelter They lived in a Chippewa wigwams and it was made of animal skin, bark from birch trees and sometimes some sticks.

CLOTHING MEN They wore breech cloths, leggings and deer skin shirts. It looked like it was from a lot of animals but it was only from one animal. But most of the cloths was made out of deer skin. Women They wear long deer skin dresses. They also wear a lot of jewelry. The dresses looked like long robes.

FOOD They ate corn, squash and pumpkin. They caught food by setting traps in the woodlands but if you went into someone's land they catch your there forever. They caught fish by setting mini traps at night they go attracted by fire. They found seeds on the ground and planted them.

ROLES OF MEN, WOMEN, AND CHILDREN The men fought in lots of wars and hunted for meals for the tribe. The women stayed back and farmed and cooked for their tribe. The children went to school and did what a real child would do.

SPEICIAL SKILLS They were very good at hunting. They also, have very good skills of making birch bark canoes. They made dolls and that was very fun for the kids.
