There were definite challenges involved in visually recreating a village that existed in the 1690s, but Production Designer Nancey Pankiw rose to the occasion.

 Ojibwe History - Indian Country Wisconsin
Like other Indian groups, the Ojibwe were forced westward beginning in the 1640s when the League of the Iroquois began to attack other tribes in the Great Lakes region to monopolize the fur trade.

However, British fur trading companies in Canada, particularly the mighty North West Company, continued to operated trading posts in the Ojibwe lands of northern Wisconsin and Minnesota until 1815.

 The Beginnings of the Children's (Folk) Music Industry in Canada: An Overview
I think it was children's folk music because of who was listening to general folk music during the boom in the 196Os and early 70s, and who those people became during the mid-1970s: how they led their lives, what they demanded for themselves, and what they tried to give their children.
In Canada, English Canada at any rate, the folk music revival was about society, togetherness in diversity, mosaic, nature, and so on, and it was accompanied by, and resulted in, sociocultural legislation and changes in consciousness: the Bi-and-Bi Commission, multiculturalism, back-to-the-land communities.
The children's music industry was made possible in Canada by an adult population in Canada that cherished a warm, fuzzy, folk-festival worldview from the mid-1970s well into mid-1980s.
