Ojibwa vs. Chippewa
Different tribes within the U.S. and Canada identify with either the name Ojibwa or Chippewa. Most Americans know this group of indigenous people as Chippewa, but most Canadian tribes prefer the term Ojibwa. It has been speculated that Chippewa is a mispronunciation of Ojibwa.Lee Sultzman: Ojibwe History -
Quote
Among the Indians there have been no written laws. Customs handed down from generation to generation have been the only laws to guide them. Every one might act different from what was considered right did he choose to do so, but such acts would bring upon him the censure of the Nation.... This fear of the Nation's censure acted as a mighty band, binding all in one social, honorable compact. -George Copway (Kah-ge-ga-bowh)First People: George Copway -
