PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Every year in the winter they split into smaller groups then in the spring they regroup into one big group.In the spring they made maple sugar. Another important thing they do in the spring is make canoes.In summer they played lacrosse. The women planted crops and the men traveled.
In the fall they took two sticks and wacked the wild rice into the bottom of the canoes. Then people using clean moccasins stepped on the rice to deshell the wild rice.
In the winter "While the men hunted and ran their traplines,women's main winter activities included scraping and tanning the thick hides winter animals have. The elders would tell stories to the children."- says anishinaabemodaa.com

If a child died they would make a small doll out of his/her hair and the mother of the dead child would carry the doll with her for a year. They called it a "doll of sorrow." They would wrap all the dead body's in birchbark because they believed that birchbark was sacred and protects the body from harm.
After they died their soul was thought to travel 4 days westward and go into the sky.The Priest would offer tobacco to the spirits at their funeral.

Marriage was extremely important to the Ojibway nation, because you're
not only combining two people your combining two families which is a
lot more than two people. In order to get married you would have to
get supporters most likely older respected people. You can't get
divorced it's a done deal when you get married after that you just
have kids and live out your life.
After marriage The couple would normally go and live at the women's
house but it they didn't have to. It is traditionally at the woman's
house. But their are people who lived at the man's house afterwards.
If the couple wanted to start a family they would have to make their
own wigwam.

More than anything else,the drum is the focus of the pow wow. The Pow Wow drum is the approximately 3 feet in diameter and made out of wood and hide. The circular shape of the drum represent the circle of life,and the wood and hide represent honestly and sharing with the natural world. The drum surrounded by four or more singers. The drumbeat symbolizes a unified heartbeat.

Medicine men ands women thought you got ill because you did something wrong. They studied plants by giving animals medicine they created seeing if they survived. They later came to realize that you could not live a long life by just knowledge of medicine and healing.
