AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Based on interviews with older Ojibwa living in Weagamow village in northern Ontario, the authors discuss the subsistence patterns and strategy of the Northern Ojibwa around the turn of the century. The seasonal round shifted between fishing a variety of species, using a variety of techniques, in summer, and hunting mostly rabbits, in the winter. The Weagamow Ojibwa used a strategy of permanent base camps and surrounding satellite camps to exploit the wider environment. Camp composition varied between extended families in winter to larger gatherings of related kin in summer. The use of satellite camps also varied depending on the density of resources, which could change from year to year.
