The Anishinaabe or Ojibwe, have lived on the land we now call Minnesota since long before European settlers arrived.

It’s more than a source of food — it’s also a way of staying in touch with their ancestors, who carved game pieces from the antlers, fashioned elaborate clothing from the hides, and used the hair to embroider intricate designs on everything from stockings to cradleboards.
