Ojibwe

The Ojibwe, also known as Chippewa, are a Native American people primarily located in the Great Lakes region of North America, including parts of Canada and the U.S. They have a rich cultural heritage characterized by their language, traditions, and spiritual practices. Historically, they relied on hunting, fishing, and gathering for sustenance, and later engaged in fur trading and other economic activities. Today, the Ojibwe continue to preserve their language, culture, and sovereignty through communities, tribes, and programs that honor their ancestral roots. They are a vital part of North America's indigenous history and contemporary society.
