The Ojibwe, Ojibwa or Chippewa people made very many items using the materials from their own environment.

Being a northerly tribe they had very harsh winters to cope with and made distinctive snowshoes; they made beadwork and quillwork to decorate clothing and other items; they made smoking pipes of stone, some with lead inlay; drums were made of rawhide stretched and laced over wooden frames; they made mats of cattail stems for flooring or wigwam covers; wooden hawk and owl effigies were placed on graves; wood was also used for bows and arrows, cradleboards and canoes. Bark containers could be sealed with pitch or balsam gum to create buckets capable of carrying water without leaking. There are many more examples.
