Did the chippewa live in the plains?
The Chippewa, also known as the Ojibwe, primarily inhabited the northern parts of the Great Lakes region, including areas in present-day Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. While they are not traditionally considered a Plains tribe, some Chippewa bands did migrate to the Plains for hunting and seasonal activities. However, their primary culture and lifestyle were closely tied to the forests and lakes rather than the open plains.
Was the Chippewa tribe part of a confederacy?
No, the Ojibwe/Chippewa were never part of a political confederacy with other tribes. This was partly because the Ojibwe were effectively a very large number of small hunting bands dispersed over a huge area. Those portions that lived in the USA were known as Chippewa and Missisauga, while the bands in Canada are mainly known as Ojibwe or Ojibwa; some western bands became buffalo-hunting nomads and are called Plains Ojibwe.It has been said that the Ojibwe can not be thought of as a "tribe" because of this cultural and geographic diversity; they were really a great many loosely connected small groups.Some bands of Ojibwe took part in the Pontiac rebellion of 1763 and some fought in the War of 1812 - many Ojibwe did not. This is typical of a "tribe" that was never a complete unit acting in one accord.

What American Indian tribe is the largest?
This is arguable. If you only include the United States, then the Cherokee have the largest registered population (as of the last census I saw). If you include North America then the Chippewa (Ojibwa) tribe is the largest. The Chippewa tribe encompasses 99% of all land currently defined as Canada.

Why are the ojibwe named ojibwe?
The Ojibwe people, also known as the Chippewa, refer to themselves as Anishinaabe, which means "original people" in their language. The term "Ojibwe" is derived from their own word "Ojibwe," which means "to roast till puckered," referring to a traditional method of cooking and preserving wild rice. This name reflects the cultural practices and traditions of the Ojibwe people, emphasizing their connection to the land and their unique way of life.
Were did chippewa cree's ariginate?
I am wondering why this came up under the Histiory of India because the Chippewa Cree have nothing to do with India. An answer to your question depends on what you mean by Chippewa Cree. The people of this reservation, the Rocky Boy Reservation, here in Montana are known as Chippewa-Cree, but then so are some people on the Turtle Mountain Reservation in North Dakota, and so are some of the Little Shells. The simple answer usually given is that the Chippewa -Crees were formed when the Crees under the leadership of Little Bear and the Chippewas under the leadership of Rocky Boy came together on what is known as the Rocky Boy Reservation here in Montana. The thing is that Chippewas and Crees have been associating for hundreds of years before some came together on this reservation. Further Little Bear and Rocky Boy had known each other long before the Rocky Boy Reservation was established in 1916. It is probably the case that Little Bear was actually more Chippewa (Ojibway) than Rocky Boy was. And although Little Bear was perhaps a few months older than Rocky Boy, Rocky Boy was rightly called an Uncle of Little Bear, because one of Rocky boy's wives was a sister of Big Bear, the father of Little Bear. And it is also said that one of Big Bear's wives was a sister of Rocky Boy. further the band of Indians led by Rocky Boy was probably already mixed Chippewa-Cree, and the band led by little Bear probably already mixed Chippewa Cree before they came together on the Rocky Boy Reservation.

What are some contributions for the Ojibway tribe?

They are known for their rich oral traditions, storytelling, and vibrant artistic expressions, including beadwork and birchbark crafts. Additionally, the Ojibway have played a crucial role in advocating for indigenous rights and environmental conservation, particularly in relation to their ancestral lands and natural resources.

What did the native people call water buckets?
Many native people historically did not have water buckets or pails, so they had no word for them. Some tribes used pottery containers, others used leather pouches or containers of bark. Each tribe had its own word for these containers or pots.Among the Ojibwe or Chippewa people, containers of birch bark called wigwassi makak were used to carry water or store food.
