Food:
Providing most of their necessities, caribou was their staple food supply, which they caught using bows, arrows, traps, snares, deadfalls. The Subarctic People gathered edible wild plants such as berries, tripe, dandelions, moss, and marigold. Hunting, fishing, trapping, and gathering often occurred on foot or on snowshoes. The rivers and the coastal waters were abundant in fish and seafood, which was another staple food item. Pemmican was another main food supply.
Joining forces to socialize, these groups each summer would pick berries, make canoes and snowshoes, and tan hides.

Dwellings:
The Subarctic People possessed different types of dwellings, but were all small, easily assembled, disassembled, and moved about. Pit Houses, Plain-type tipis, Wigwams, and conical lodges covered with birch bark, were some of the varying homes the Subarctic People lived in. Some constructed smokehouses. On the interior of the shelter, hides were placed on the side which kept the fur or hair providing more warmth.
