About this book
Ethnobotany of the Ojibwe Indians, by Huron H. Smith, lists sections on medicines, medicinal plants, vegetal foods, fibers, dyes and miscellaneous uses of plants. The account places the original habitation of the Ojibwe along both shores of the Great Lakes, extending westward as far as the Turtle Mountains in North Dakota.
The discussion identifies blueberries and wild rice as gathered crops with considerable commercial value and says that laborious preparation has raised the price of wild rice. The account says blueberries provide a goodly part of cash income, usually selling for about twenty cents a quart, with a family easily picking eighty quarts daily. The description of berry gathering says the pickers comb the bushes with their fingers and remove leaves and twigs later.
