animals used for food and products:

The hunting and gathering lifestyle of aboriginal peoples living in the Midwest resulted in almost all meat sources being obtained from hunted animals. Therefore, the animals listed as "hunted animals" were the primary food sources of these people. The deer was the most important food resource, followed by the elk.

Animal products which were utilized by native people of Wisconsin included:

• bones- tools, ornamentation
• fat- grease
• sinew- thread, string
• skins- clothing, shelter, blankets
• turtle shells- ornamentation, musical instruments, containers
