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.
