Comprised of two separate booklets, this resource unit assists elementary teachers in explaining how the Ojibwe people harvest maple sugar and wild rice. The first booklet explains the procedure of tapping the maple trees for sap, preparation for boiling the sap, and the three forms the sugar is made into (granulated, "molded," and "taffy"). The second booklet describes the important event of the year--harvesting and processing wild rice. Processing involves four steps: drying, parching, threshing, and winnowing. Each of the booklets include historical photographs to show the step-by-step techniques of harvest. For the teacher both resources provide learning objectives, directions for activities, student discussion sheets, vocabulary lists, a list of resource materials, and an evaluation checklist. In addition there are recipes for maple sugar and wild rice and directions for making a muhkuk syrup container. (ERB/LFL)
