Through watching and direct involvement, the children grew to understand their roles and acquired responsibilities.

I Life i n the Forest 25 Women of Hay River remember subsistence pursuits such as trapping, fishing, and hunting as interconnected activities. Families traveled to areas around Hay River, Providence, Herkina Lake, Sandy Creek, and Buffalo Lake and into Wood Buffalo National Park to engage in subsistence activities. ) Men, women, and older children set and checked snares made of string and willow branches. When not attending to the trap lines, the men hunted or fished, while the women took care of the camp, prepared the meat that had been caught, gathered wood, and also fished.

As the whole family may not be on the land together, there is some overlap in roles. Men and women will often assist one another in their activities, or take on and complete the duties of the other. For instance, some men also tend to snares and help prepare the meat. The one exception is hunting, as there are very few women in Hay River who harvest big game. There are community hunts, in which many of the men participate. As was the practice in the past, a large meat harvest is shared throughout the town.
