“Moose, abundant in the dense forests of the Anishinaabe territories, serve as a crucial source of food…Moreover, various parts of the moose – its hide, fur, antlers, and more – are employed in the fabrication of drums, artistic creations, and an assortment of tools. Unsurprisingly, then, the moose is a frequent subject of the Anishinaabe painters of this time.”
