Technology: The clustered needles of Red pine (P. Resinosa) were trimmed to shape and used by Chippewa as little dolls. These little dolls were situated on one end of a stiff strip of bark or board. When the board was tapped or rocked, the little pine dolls would dance. Types of pine were also used to make dugout canoes. The trunk of a pine tree was hollowed out using a combination of burning and then chipping out the burned material.
