The Ojibwe tribe or people are one of the group of Anishnabe peoples. The name for these same people in the US is Chippewa.
According to Seven Fires Prophecies, they originated on the Eastern Coast of the US among the Abenaki People living there. The Abenaki speak a variety of the Algonquian Language as do all Anishnabe peoples.
At the urging of the first prophecy, that a light skinned race would come and destroy the spirituality and very lives of those native peoples who remained along the eastern seaboard, the Anishnabe left en masse (in ten thousand canoes), moving west looking for the turtle shaped Island and the land where food grew on water (Wild rice, which they finally found in the Great Lakes). Along the way in this journey to the West, groups settled out at various places and became known as the Odawa, Potowotomy, Ojibway etc...
Ojibway/Ojibwe was one of the groups that traveled furthest to the West looking for the "promised land" of the prophecy...

What is the mother tongue of the Ojibway Indian?
The Ojibwe language--otherwise anglicized as Chippewa, Ojibwa or Ojibway and known to its own speakers as Anishinabe or Anishinaabemowin--is an Algonquian tongue spoken by 50,000 people in the northern United States and southern Canada. There are five main dialects of Ojibwe: Western Ojibwe, Eastern Ojibwe, Northern Ojibwe (Severn Ojibwe or Oji-Cree), Southern Ojibwe (Minnesota Ojibwe or Chippewa), and Ottawa (Odawa or Odaawa). The Ottawa have always been politically independent from the Ojibwe, but their language is essentially the same--speakers of all five dialects, including Ottawa, can understand each other readily. Many linguists also consider the Algonquin language to be an Ojibwe dialect, but it has diverged more and is difficult for Western Ojibwe speakers to understand. As its name suggests, Oji-Cree has borrowed many elements from Cree and is often written in the Cree syllabary rather than the English alphabet. On the whole Ojibwe is among the heartiest of North American languages, with many children getting raised to speak it as a native language.
