Moose provided cold-climate Early Americans with a source of
food and clothing. Heavy long sleeved jackets made from moose hide with moose
skin trousers protected the Early Americans from severe winters. Fir branches
covered with moose hides served as floors and beds inside wigwams. Since moose
are solitary animals they were hunted individually. For the hunt, the men
covered themselves with animal skins, wore antlers on their heads, and
reproduced the moose mating call through the use of a birch-bark instrument.
Moose are depicted in petroglyphs usually in hunting scenes.
