📃 Summary
Students learn about what foods the Ojibwe people ate and how their diet changed when they were forced on to the reservation. They play a multiplication tic-tac-toe to snare rabbits and spend the points earned in the game to outfit their wigwam.
📚 Lesson
1. Watch a one-minute video on rabbit stew
Narrated by Deb Gourneau, of Turtle Mountain, this video explains the importance of rabbit stew in helping people survive when food was scarce.
2. Play Rabbit Tic-Tac-Toe in Making Camp Premium
Remember, clicking on the link with the boxes in the bottom left corner will always take you to the choices page.
- Click on the box with the rabbit to play a tic-tac-toe game in Making Camp. Each correct multiplication problem snares a rabbit. Incorrect problems leave an empty snare.

3. Play a Matching Game to earn more points
Click on the box with the buffalo to match multiplication problems with their answers.
4. Learn what else was part of the Ojibwe diet
Now that you have 4 more points, go back to the wigwam and if you have not already traded for these, select the fish, deer hide or parfleche to see what else the Ojibwe would eat. Click on each of these items in your wigwam to learn more about it.
