"Spearing Fish from a Canoe", by Captain Seth Eastman.
While one man in the stern manoeuvred the birch bark canoe, the other, standing in the bow, kept on the alert for fish. At night the Indians used torches to attract them. During the summer months, while encamped by lakes and rivers, the Ojibwa intensified their efforts to catch fish. Some of the catch was dried and stored away for the coming winter.
