Class Notes: Ch 4: The Ojibwe (Anishinaabe) The Dakota were first in Minnesota. Around 1500, the Ojibwe arrived in Minnesota. Similarities: hunted, made sugar and syrup, harvested wild rice, Ojibwe also moved with the seasons Differences: spoke different languages, Ojibwe lived in wigwams, Ojibwe migrated from the East, Ojibwe canoes were from birchbark (Dakota canoes were made from hallowed out logs) The Dakota did not like the Ojibwe getting too close to their lands. The way that the Dakota hunt: They had boundaries for hunting. Hunters were not allowed to hunt outside of boundaries. This was a way to prevent over hunting. They wanted to make sure that the animals would last them for a very long time.
