I am reasearching descriptive meanings of dream catchers, and found your www page. I would like to have seen photos of the Native dress style. Recently, I was able to attend the Brule concert, that also included various tribal dancers. Hey I really thank you, this website helped me with my project!! But i need to know What technologies did they develop?? Lisa Miller. I am very interested in art that expresses the chippewa-cree way of life. Thank you for the informative site.
Also, the spiritual ways of the indians. I am still looking for the latter. I am Ojibwa. I am from North Dakota, I thought there were alot of facts and who ever wrote this did a great job. I went to your site because I was interested in the meaning of a couple of terms that I had heard used recently and found out that the word for medicine woman was indeed the one used.
However, I still don't know what a "nowatee" sp is and what is their function. My son's wife claims to be Ojibwa and Cherokee, however she is not on any Cherokee roll. Her name is Vicki Whitewolf, PhD. If you have any information on her would you please email it to me. Thank you. Sincerely, A. I never knew this much i wish you would have given me more information on How the Ojibway are today? I am Ojibway. I enjoyed reading this site. It has given me good information about my own culture, as well as for my presentation.
Thank you so much for this page and information. I am a partial Native American, Ojibwa, but with not enough blood to register, so any information I can find it helpful, as I wish to live as best I can in the Native American way. Le Loup. Very informative, many thanks.
I have long been looking for this sort of information, it helps one to know who and what you are, and where your history lays. Regards, Le Loup. Jim Hoffman. Thanks so much for the insight into the Ojibwa culture past and present. I have since childhood had an interest in this very unique part of our society. We learned some of the culture in public schools in Ontario,Canada, in the 's as it was part of our curriculum. I am a non-native person trying to learn some of the language and customs of this tribe.
I live right between two reserves here in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada. Saugeen is twenty miles west of here, while Cape Croker is thirty miles northwest of here. I meet many of them in downtown Owen Sound.
It has been a real pleasure to read this article and I am now following the links contained in it. This page is very intresting to read!.. John Gerhard Esquimaux. But the stuff I am not sure of, I find interesting.
I have a picture of his tribal elders in front of a teepee as my grandparents are arriving for their summer visit. My mother is wearing a white dress and the elders are wearing long feather headresses. My grandparents arrived in a buckboard wagon. My grandfather established the first butcher shop in Grand Rapids before my mother was born in I have copies of the newspaper advertising and announcement of this event.
I also have a picture of my great grandmother leading a horse, hauling a travois with gifts for her new grandchild, into Grand Rapids.
She is wearing traditional Objibwa dress. I have 2 pairs of baby moccasins with flower beadwork, that she made for my mother by her grandmother. I would like to know if anyone has any knowledge of Thomas' brother's family. I only have a letter addressed to Merde Clysdale asking about Thomas.
I do have more family history and would like to share. I would love to have more information and to know if i have any kinfolk. Charlie Charlotte. I'm so grateful for this page you have no idea. This site helped me ALOT! I'm doing a project on the Ojibwa and without this site, my report would have been empty. Search on Google "What did the Ojibwa look like" and zero results.
You should make it more colorful! Anyway, your site is really good, really really helpful! So helpful. It gave me enough courage to actually hand my Ojibwa project in!
Tee hee tee hee, this websight gave me all the anwsers! Hi, I am Ojibwae and from Wiarton area. My reservation is cape croker. I always wanted to learn more about my culture but I never really talked about it with my grandmother. I found this website very useful. I would of liked to know more about events they took part in, that would have helped alot but other then that this site was very well put together. We hear the Ojibwa lived around the lake; it's fascinating to think of it.
This website was quite interesting and complete. Thank you for making it available to the general public. This is good information hope I get an a "A" on the Ojibwa Tribe project!!! Thanks Lorie Roy! Rick Rohr. Very informative. I have heard rumor that he was an Honorary Ojibwa Chief and am just trying to find out more about him. What was the name for the January moon? Were the months symbolized in any way? What may have been a gift from a wife to her husband?
Did the Ojibway have animal totems? I have great respect for all Native American beliefs and cultures. This is a wonderful site. Thankz like alot this helped me in a way u wouldnt imagine i had so much work and because of this website i got all done so quick THANKZ. THanks Again!!! I'm glad that someone finally put up this much information on the internet. Awesome to read. And, from the comments, it's obvious that this is the only way a lot of students access research info.
Howevs, a warning to the non-critical reader, there are still a lot of inherent biases here. Please, for people interested in their heritage, don't buy into blanket studies. Ojibwe history is an oral tradition, and even the best researchers are bound to experience inconsistencies. So, shout out to the commentor whose momma was from Thunder Bay and Jim Hoffman near Saugeen, kudos on trying to learn this stuff, but if you can go listen to a granny, you'll be much better off.
How can I verify my Native American heritage? My grandparents were from the Luce County, MI area. Thank you very much for the informative article. I have a friend that is Anishinabe and I feel compelled to learn the old ways.
I believe we will return to them sooner rather then later. Thank you once again. Ann VanHaren. I am interested specifically on the history of Madeline Island and one Ojibwa woman known as Madeline. She is supposed to be buried on Madeline Island which my great-grandmother told me was named after her. I am told she was the only daughter of an Ojibwa Cheif.
My great-grandmother was a decendant and her named was Mary Diamond. I know she was the daughter of a man called Benjamin Diamond. If you can help me find out more about my history or at least part of it, I would be most grateful. You can reach me at the above email address. Thank you, Ann VanHaren. Can someone tell me if Ojibwa is part of that catagory???
This website is full of info. Just ome photos would be really cool. Hi i am trying to find a friend of mine his name is Stone Elk i was wondering if anyone could help me he is Ojibwa And i have been unable to find him. Could you please help. Thank You. Looking for info on great grandmother, her name is listed as Ellen Ottawa Indian, she was born in Canada in and married George Legro. They had my Grandmother, Elizabeth mary Legro, Anyone with any info?
Across from the Michiana Airport I was just back in the area this past month and was unable to locate anyone who could help. Back around we attended several auction? Since the Potowatomie were in the area, was this attributed to them? As I recall the double TiPi structure was made of wooden poles that stuck out above with everything about it looking like one constructed on the open prairie, with animal hydes stretched and sewn to cover the poles.
I could be mistaken about it's construction, but not about it's location. Can anyone be of any help? Beautifully written too bad the auther didn't note that as ojibwa we don't refer to our attire as a custome as to everthing else I must say it was excellent!
Chief TallTree anishinabe. I'm doing a project on the Ojibwa people right now, and i don't see anything about current status of the Ojibwa. That could become a problem, because a lot of projects will have questions on current status. But, i really want to make sure that somebody gets this note. Because if you made a few edits on current status, this site would be perfect for any school project!
This helped me so much! I couldn't find that much on Google and luckily I came across your site. SO helfpul and so many different topics, made it easier for me to write my paper! Yolanda Dorr-Slowey. I really Loved your site. Too many people seem to think that alot of this isn't true but Native people doing things like this help people better understand us, so thank you!
Fred Jack Amikoonsgiyamanitoumahwhingon Miles. On the topic of Dream Catchers, They were intended for use by young children. The Catcher was hung over a child's bed to trap the nightmares or bad dreams then taken outside to allow Giizis, the Sun, to burn them off. Older children and adults must see all to their dreams, good or bad. In i was registered with the Sault St Marie tribe.
Now they say I am not an indian and will not issue me a card. Has this happened to anyone else out there? Would to hear some advice or ideas on this. Leo Bowersox Thank you.
Great website an Miigwetch, for sharing our culture. I am a proud "Shinob"and share our culture with everyone who will listen. I think that it is our duty to learn more and further our culture daily as we have lost so much of it to modern day America. Loriene Roy.
Chi megwitch, thank you, for your useful comments. I'm pleased that many of you found this article useful. I did write it in , so there will be new content and additional content available that would assist you.
You're likely to find additional material through your local public or academic library! I would like to know about what plants and animals they used for their clothing and shelter. Tony TA-Khu. I have just read this amazing page and I have loved it. The Guide's name is 'Grandmother Tall Tree'. A lady has recently moved in to our neighborhood whom I met while out walking. While she was visiting I commented that she looked very much like a 'First Nation' lady. This lady is from Canada.
She told us that she is one quarter Ojibwa. Her Grandmother was full blooded Ojibwa. We showed this lady the painting of Grandmother Tall Tree and she said that she looked exactly like her own Grandmother. I also notice that there is a comment on your board from Chief Tall Tree. It is all amazing for us. We are very open to receive other information about your Nation and Grandmother Tall Tree.
Michael Teeple. I really enjoyed your page. When I was young "they" attempted to assimulate me. I started learning about my culture later in life. I'm 60 and enrolled at Bay Mills Indian Community. Sometimes more than one variant is given here. And I'm not sure about of what dialect they belong to and if these are grammatical differences of dialects, or just the same thing can be said in several ways.
