Answer:

Obtaining food was an important and essential ritual for the Subarctic peoples.
Usually on foot or on snowshoes, they would hunt, fish, trap and gather wild plants.
Fishing
- In the winter, ice fishing was popular.
- In the spring, the rivers and the coastal waters were rich in fish and seafood.
- Most of the Northern fishes, and their fish eggs, could be eaten.
The subarctic people often hunted moose, caribou, hare, musk oxen, bear and elk, as well as waterfowl and fish.
The edible wild plants they collected included berries, tripe, dandelions, moss and marigold.
Berries were dried in the fall or stored in baskets put in pits in the ground.
Pemmican, a mixture of berries, grease and animal meat, was a high-energy food that could be preserved for years.
