I'm doing a project for an environmental studies class at UW-Madison. It's a group project on how people can eat sustainably in Wisconsin by enjoying native foods and storing food through the winter months. My portion of the project is about Native American's of Wisconsin and what foods they harvested, hunted/gathered throughout the year. I have a lot of general information about wild rice, corn and the Three Sisters. What I haven't been able to find is information about Wisconsin Native Americans and how they stored their food during the winter and what they ate throughout the year besides wild rice and corn. I have an idea about what resources they used, but I can't find any sources to back them up. Are there any good Native American history sources you can think of or any general information about this topic with sources? Or maybe I'm tackling this information wrong. Is there a better way of finding this information in the community or by talking to tribes members themselves? This is a very specific topic so I realize there may not be many sources to choose from, but any help would be much appreciated.
It may be helpful if you pick a specific time period to also look into. There are surely differences between the Paleo, Archaic, Woodland, etc.
