“Ojibwe,” “Chippewa,” “Anishinabe?”• Anishinabe is the Chippewa or Ojibwe peoples’ name for themselves.
Translated into English is means the “original people,” or the “people spontaneously created.”
• Ojibwemowin (the language) was mistakenly shortened to “Ojibwe,” and applied as a name, likely by early French traders in the immediate contact period
• “Ojibwe” became “Chippewa” during the transition from French to English regimes in North American. The name “Chippewa” came into customary use by the early eighteenth century, and is used in all their treaties with the federal government.
• The term “Chippewa,” is currently used in the official name by which every Anishinabe band in Wisconsin is known to the federal government. As federally recognized Indian tribes and bands, each tribe or band possesses the ability to change their name.
