The Ojibwa (or Ojibwe) are one of the largest Native American tribes, presently numbering about 56,000 in the U.S. and 165,000 in Canada. Their religions now include native adaptations of Catholicism and Methodism. However, their primary and original religion is called Midewiwin, which is shamanic in character. Midewiwin's religious legacy to modern culture includes the sweat lodge (a form of ritual sauna), the dreamcatcher (believed to trap out bad dreams) and, as part of their Algonquin heritage, the shaking tent ceremony. The Ojibwa are very literate and knowledgeable in traditional medicine, and are the first American Indians to have forged detailed treaties with white people before allowing them to settle in their territories.
