===Woods Cree subgroup===
The [[Woods Cree]] make use of [[Ribes glandulosum]] using a [[decoction]] of the stem, either by itself or mixed with wild red raspberry, to prevent clotting after birth, eat the berries as food, and use the stem to make a bitter tea.<ref>Leighton, Anna L. 1985 Wild Plant Use by the Woods Cree ({{lang|cr-Latn|Nihithawak}}) of East-Central Saskatchewan. Ottawa. National Museums of Canada. Mercury Series (p. 54)</ref> They make use of [[Vaccinium myrtilloides]], using a [[decoction]] of leafy stems used to bring menstruation and prevent pregnancy, to make a person sweat, to slow excessive menstrual bleeding, to bring blood after childbirth, and to prevent miscarriage. They also use the berries to dye porcupine quills, eat the berries raw, make them into jam and eat it with fish and bannock, and boil or pound the sun-dried berries into [[pemmican]].<ref>Leighton, Anna L., 1985, Wild Plant Use by the Woods Cree ({{lang|cr-Latn|Nihithawak}}) of East-Central Saskatchewan, Ottawa.

Mercury Series, page 63</ref> They use the berries of the ''minus'' subspecies of [[Vaccinium myrtilloides]] to colour porcupine quills, and put the firm, ripe berries on a string to wear as a necklace.<ref name="auto">Leighton, Anna L., 1985, Wild Plant Use by the Woods Cree ({{lang|cr-Latn|Nihithawak}}) of East-Central Saskatchewan, Ottawa.
