AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
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.
