In winter, many kinds
of oak trees, being
deciduous, lose
their leaves.
During that
time when
sunlight is
especially precious
for warmth, the oak tree’s
leafless branches let the
sun shine through.
Oak trees make
good shade trees
because they grow
tall and wide
enough to
create a big
canopy that
you can sit
under on a hot,
sunny day.

A canopy
is a covering,
either natural
or man-made.
Oak trees provided more than shade for the first Americans.
Their fruit, known as acorns, were an essential source of
food for Native Americans from coast to coast.

The acorns were ground into a meal that was used to make
mush or pounded with meat, fat and berries to make
pemmican, a paste that dries into chewy, nutritious strips.
