Ojibwe
Ojibwe
Ojibwe (pronunciation: /oʊˈdʒɪbweɪ/), also known as Chippewa, Anishinaabe, or Ojibwa, is a group of indigenous peoples in North America. They are part of the larger Anishinaabe-speaking population, which also includes the Odawa, Saulteaux, Potawatomi, Oji-Cree, and Algonquin peoples.
Etymology
The term "Ojibwe" is derived from the Anishinaabe word "Ojibweg," which refers to the practice of puckering up the seams of moccasins. The French referred to the tribe as "Saulteurs" (meaning "People of the Falls"), and later as "Chippewa," a corruption of "Ojibwe."
