Ojibwas lived seasonally near the Pine River for hundreds of years. Join Cathy Fitzpatrick, Historical Interpreter, for an afternoon at the wigwam (near the Visitor Center) to explore how Woodland Indians used local plants and animals to thrive in their environment. We’ll focus on tools used to make various vessels such as pots, baskets and nets. Visitors at this drop-in program can pick up a bone needle and thread to sew together their very own cardstock birch basket, and try traditional skills such as fire by friction and cordage making.
