of Ojibwas District
The Ojibwas were the largest and most powerful of the Great Lakes tribes.
The name has no standard spelling. The Ojibwas and Chippewa are
not only the same tribe, but the same word pronounced a little differently due
to accent. If an "O" is placed in front of Chippewa (O'chippewa), the similarity
can be heard. The heartland of the Ojibwas is around Sault Ste. Marie. Since
most Ojibwas live in the northern Great Lakes with a short growing season and
poor soil. They were hunter-gatherers who harvested wild rice and maple
sugar. They had no salt to preserve food and generally mixed their food with
maple syrup as seasoning. They were skilled hunters and trappers. Fishing,
especially for sturgeon, was also an important source of food.
