Before contact with European explorers the Ojibwe bands used bows and arrows as their main weapon, with clubs of various types as secondary weapons. Guns were supplied by white traders from an early date, leading to the bow being used far less than in earlier times.

Ojibwe bows were made of ash, hickory or birch and ranged from about 43 to 67 inches in length, often entirely stained a dull red. Arrows were of split hardwood or second-growth shoots, with early points of bone or wood, later metal points from traders. Fletchings were from golden eagles or turkeys (a very unusual arrow survives with 5 flicker feathers) and arrows were from 24 to 35 inches long, usually with very shallow nocks for the string.

War clubs varied in shape and size; some were huge ball-headed clubs carved from hardwood, often with bone (later metal) spikes added; the gunstock-style club might have a trade knife blade fitted.

Ojibwa wore moccasins in the summer. Moccasins are a type of shoes they wore. They also wore animal hides in winter and breech cloth in summer. Not many of them wore feather headresses but some did. The Ojibwa wore clothes made from animal skin like woman wore animal skin dresses. Hope this helps.

If your serious about making a bow, start with a heavy or dense wood, Indians used osage orange for the're short bows, Europe used Yew for the're long bows, Both were effective. A simple way to make a Bow is to get 3 sapplings of your choice of wood, 1" (inch) in diameter, (Dry, Season, or Cure for a year in a cool dry place, Now use the 1/3 method. Make 1- 4ft 1- 3ft and 1- 2ft long, mark each stick in the center and match up the center line of your sticks, now use a strong cord and wined 3 or 4 times an knot, move a couple of inches and do again, do this from the center out until all your sticks are bound together, for your string I would use fishing-line, 30lb test and use 3 or 4 together and wax them. Good-Luck Answer If your serious about making a bow you will forget everything you read above and go to this website.http://georgeandjoni.home.comcast.net/~georgeandjoni/archer.html Whoever wrote that has obviously never made a bow and has no idea what they are talking about.

About 3,000 Wampanoag survive (many of whose ancestry includes other tribes), and many live on the reservation (Watuppa Wampanoag Reservation) on Martha's Vineyard, in Dukes County. It is located in the town of Aquinnah (formerly known as Gay Head), at the extreme western part of the island. It has a land area of 1.952 km² (482.35 acres), and a 2000 census resident population of 91 persons. There are currently five organized groups of the Wampanoag: Assonet, Gay Head, Herring Pond, Mashpee and Namasket. All have applied for recognition by the government, but only the Gay Head Wampanoag still have a reservation on Martha's Vineyard. They received government recognition in 1987 from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. They currently have 1,000 registered members. Their reservation consists of 485 acres (approx. 2 km²) and is located on the outermost southwest part of the island. The official registered name is "Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head". The "Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe" consists of 1,200 registered members and owns many stores and museums. Since 1924 there has been a powwow every year at the beginning of July. The reservation is located near Mashpee on Cape Cod. After decades of legal disputes, the Mashpee Wampanoag obtained provisional recognition as an Indian tribe from the Bureau of Indian Affairs in April 2006, and then received official Federal recognition in February 2007.[citation needed] There is also still land which is owned separately by families and in common by Wampanoag descendants at both Chapaquddick and Christiantown, and they have also purchased land in Middleborough, Massachusetts to build a casino upon. In addition, a remnant of the Wampanoag reside on St. David Island, Bermuda. They are descendants of those sold overseas in the aftermath of King Philip's War by the Puritans. See "External Links" on article Metacomet.

In France, as all over the world, people make the same kind of crafts. People the world over use clay, paint, glue, scissors, paper, wood, yarn, beads and whatever else you would use for your crafts.

If you put a craft class from France next to a craft class from any other country in the world, they would look the same. I can't think of anything that would set France off as being different.

"The name Midewiwin (also spelled Midewin and Medewiwin) is derived from a Native American term for the Grand Medicine Society, a super-secret society of which today members would nominally be called by others than the Medewiwin, Shamans. Tribal groups who had such societies include the Ojibwa, Chippewa, Ottawa, and Potawatomi, the last of whom were prominent residents of the Midewiwin National Tallgrass Prairie region from the mid 1700’s to the early to mid-1800’s. According to the Potawatomi, Mide’ or Mida (pronounced mid-day), means ‘mystic’ or ‘mystically powerful.’ The curing rituals performed by the members of the Midewiwin relied heavily on a tradition that incorporated mystical elements arising from the beliefs about the spirits that protected the A-nish’-in-a’ beg (term used by the Ottawa, Potawatomi, Ojibwa, and Menomonee to describe “the original people." http://www.geocities.com/the_wanderling/midewiwin.html

Yes, vivid dreaming is a symptom of pregnancy. You can try and program your dreams by thinking of restful scenes like gardens or the ocean before you sleep. Also keeping a journal to write down the things you are worried about may remove them from your brain so your dreams are more peaceful. When ever a person is going through a transition, and motherhood is a huge transition, they get their dreaming stirred up. It's normal. Good luck.
