What did the Indigenous men and women's daily life look like?
In the Spring women made syrup from maple sap and birch sap. They also made and repaired fishing nets, baskets, and clothing. Anishinaabeg women were water protectors and taught people in their communities to honour and protect the water.
Settlers had the difficult task of building their homes and communities.
The men in the communities hunted and trapped animals for food, made tools, and built their homes. Men also helped to care for the children. They taught boys how to make tools and how to hunt and fish. Although at this time, men were often given the title Chief in Anishinaabeg communities, women played an important role in choosing the Chief. Today "Chief" is a title given to all genders.
