Anishinaabe – or, more properly, Anishinaabeg, the plural form of the word – means “the original people.” You may know the people better by the name they were called by surrounding tribes, Ojibwe, or early settlers’ mispronunciation of the name, Chippewa.
Their ancestors traveled from eastern Canada and were originally from the Sault Ste. Marie region of Ontario, Canada.
