Algonkin/Anishnabe and Mi'kmaq are both classified as Algonquian languages; they are therefore distantly related and a linguist can identify links between them (even if these may not be obvious to another observer).Some people believe that the name "Algonkin" for the Anishnabe tribe comes from the Mi'kmaq term algoomeaking - "at the place of spearing fish".A few comparative words are:English..................................Mi'kmaq.................................Anishnaberiver.......................................sipu.......................................sippi/ziibione........................................newt......................................pezhiktwo........................................tapu.......................................niishchief......................................sagamaw................................ogimablack..................................... maqtawe'g.............................makadewa
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...
meegwetch is a borrowed word from Anishnabe/Ojibway. We say thank you in Cree a few different ways depending on the situation. Kitatamihin is one way, ninaskomitin is another, and tiniki is another.
The Anishinaabe is an autonym which is used most often by the Ojibwe, Odawa and Algonquin people. They were often self educated but in June of 1994, the Cheifs ate the Anishinebek Grand Council, formally established the Anishinebek Education Insititute.

Manabozho (or Nanabozho) is a trickster character known in many of the Anishnabe Native American tribes (such as Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Odawa, and Algonquin) from the Great Lakes area. He figures prominently in their creation story and is a culture hero. Manabozho had a human mother and a spirit father, and sometimes takes the shape of a rabbit. He is often portrayed as somewhat humorous, especially compared to the Algonquin trickster Wisakedajak, who caused a flood that encompassed the world. An interesting note is that the second part of his name, 'bozho' is used as a greeting in the Potawatomi language. Manitou is how the Anishnabe and Algonquin tribes refer to spirit. More specifically, spirits related to balance, nature and life. It's is comparable to the Chinese 'Chi'
