Abstract
This article discusses the importance of horticulture to the Ojibwa economy of the upper Mississippi and boundary waters area of Minnesota and Ontario. The author points out that warm-weather activities such as gardening, and cold-weather activities such as trapping, were interrelated in a well-integrated seasonal round of subsistence activities (p. 144). This interrelationship is examined in detail in this document including its relationshp to the fur trade.
