Jane Johnston Schoolcraft: Ojibwe tribe

Ojibwe tribe

The Ojibwe and Ottawa Indians are members of a longstanding alliance also including the Potawatomi tribe. Called the Council of Three Fires, this alliance was a powerful one which clashed with the mighty Iroquois Confederacy and the Sioux, eventually getting the better of both. (Redish 1)

Redish, Laura. "Native Languages of the Americas: Chippewa." 11/16/04. http://www.native-languages.org/chippewa.htm

The Ojibwe people were less devastated by European epidemics than their densely-populated Algonquian cousins to the east, and they resisted manhandling by the whites much better. Most of their lands were appropriated by the Americans and Canadians, a fate shared by all native peoples of North America, but plans to deport the Ojibwe to Kansas and Oklahoma never succeeded, and today nearly all Ojibwe reservations are within their original territory.

"The Chippewa nation's traditional significance of its name in their own language, 'to roast until puckered up,' refers to the puckering in seams of moccasins when held too close or too longtoward a fire. They are also called Ojibwa, as the band preferred. The Chippewa are one of the two largest divisions of the Algonquin linguistic family. Originally from the Sault Sainte Marie region, they extended along the entire shore of Lake Huron and both shores of Lake Superior, as well as into the northern interior of North Dakota after separating into Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawatomi. During the 19th century they gradually gathered upon reservations in the United States and Canada. In 1650, the Chippewa population stood at 35,000. In 1764 at 25,000. They scattered into many states in the Central and Plains regions."

I am requesting information on the native tribe I belong too. I think I am 30% Ojibwe Indian. My grandmother was 60% Ojibwe Indian. Could you please advice me on how to obtain further and more detailed information on my Indian heritage.

With deep regards
