Description

Blueberries are one of the most important foods of the Ojibwe people. Blueberry production can be influenced by people, so one can make more berries which can then be dried and stored for the long winter months ahead. Native peoples in this area would pick the blueberries and then burn the patch every couple years to stimulate berry production. Berry picking is a source of sustenance and has been a way for people to earn a living selling them to local restaurants and stores.
