Copper was mined , most notably on what is now Isle Royal in Lake Superior and along the south shore of the lake. Quillwork and sweetgrass weaving were Ojibwe crafts as was work with birch bark.
Moccasins that are similar to the commercially-produced slippers of today were produced by Ojibwe. The seams were heated at fireside, which may have been the origin of the name Ojibwe, meaning "to roast until puckered."
Wild rice is still harvested and marketed by Ojibwe. Dreamcatchers, which have become kitchy decorations in homes and vehicles originated among the Ojibwe and are still produced by many members of various Ojibwe nations.
