Chippewa Red Paint: Iron Scum from Springs, Baked Hard, Powdered and Mixed with Grease (Densmore, 1928)
How the Chippewa (Ojibwe) made their red paint, as Frances Densmore recorded it for the Bureau of American Ethnology: the reddish iron scum skimmed from certain springs, dried, baked in the fire until hard as stone, ground to a fine red powder kept in buckskin, and mixed with grease to paint faces, bodies and arrows. The same powder set the colour in their dyes.

From Frances Densmore, *Uses of Plants by the Chippewa Indians*, **44th Annual Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology** (1928), p. 370 (checked on the archive.org scan usesofplantsbych00dens). Her Chippewa informants gave no baking time or grease amount; those and the grinding tools are ours.
