What type of food did the Wendat eat?

Answer 1

The Wendat did certain things during certain seasons. This allowed them to be successful.

Spring

During the spring the Wendat started farming. Wendat people grew three different crops: beans, squash and corn. These were also called The Three Sisters. Only women worked in the fields.

During the spring the men would hunt or fish. Fishing was an important activity in the spring time.

Summer

During the summer the women would continue to tend the fields. Men would hunt and fish. In the early summer men would travel long distances in their canoes to trade with other First Nations. Other nations could not grow corn. Wendat men traded corn with other nations for fish, furs and other things.

Autumn

During the autumn months the women would harvest the corn, beans and squash, and gather wild rice and plants. Men would hunt deer.

Winter

During the winter the Wendat lived in their villages. They ate the food they hunted and grew over the spring and summer. They also traded with other First Nations. Nipissing people, who lived near the modern city of North Bay, would travel to Wendat territory. They would spend the winter near Lake Simcoe. Nipissing people brought dried fish to trade for Wendat corn.

Men hunted in the late winter. Deep snow made it hard for animals to run away. This made it easier for the men to hunt deer and moose.
