Ojibwa...
"The Ojibwa, or Chippewa, Indians were one of the largest tribes
of North American Indians, and the first people in their region to
procure firearms.   In the middle of the 18th century they domi-
nated a vast area from what is now North Dakota to the eastern
shore of Lake Huron.   After fighting against the British in the
French and Indian War, and on the British side in the War of
1812, the Ojibwa concluded a treaty with the United States and
were placed on reservations from Michigan to Montana.   They
now number about 3,500 on 18 reservations.

Ojibwa is an Algonquian language, so closely related to the
tongues of the Ottawa and Algonquin tribes that all are con-
sidered by some to be merely dialects of the same basic language."
