The Ojibwe (also Ojibwa or Ojibway) or Chippewa (also Chippeway) is the largest group of Native Americans-First Nations north of Mexico, including Métis. They are the third-largest in the United States, surpassed only by Cherokee and Navajo. They are equally divided between the United States and Canada. Because they were formerly located mainly around Sault Ste. Marie, at the outlet of Lake Superior, the French referred to them as Saulteurs. Ojibwe who subsequently moved to the prairie provinces of Canada have retained the name Saulteaux. Ojibwe who were originally located about the Mississagi River and made their way to southern Ontario are known as the Mississaugas.1

How did they build the panther symbol?
They would do this by using wool yarn,cotton cord and glass beads and make them into bags with the underwater jaguar as the symbol.

The Ojibwa are also known as the Chippewa. They comprise the largest group of First Nation Native Americans. They are geographically equally divided between Canada and the US. In the US, they are the third largest First Nation Native American group.
