What landforms were there when the Chippewa Indians were alive?
The term "Indians" was designated and promoted as a racial identifier by Europeans who at the time claimed to be searching for a shortcut to India, a land also where Europeans exploited the indigenous populations and their resources. The term "Chippewa" refers to a tribe name. A tribe is a group of families so the name "Chippewa" is really a family name. The Chippewa are still here! Learn about Leonard Peltier, he is directly related to the Chippewa tribe.
Are there any living Wompanoag Indians today?
About 3,000 Wampanoag survive (many of whose ancestry includes other tribes), and many live on the reservation (Watuppa Wampanoag Reservation) on Martha's Vineyard, in Dukes County. It is located in the town of Aquinnah (formerly known as Gay Head), at the extreme western part of the island. It has a land area of 1.952 km² (482.35 acres), and a 2000 census resident population of 91 persons. There are currently five organized groups of the Wampanoag: Assonet, Gay Head, Herring Pond, Mashpee and Namasket. All have applied for recognition by the government, but only the Gay Head Wampanoag still have a reservation on Martha's Vineyard. They received government recognition in 1987 from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. They currently have 1,000 registered members. Their reservation consists of 485 acres (approx. 2 km²) and is located on the outermost southwest part of the island. The official registered name is "Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head". The "Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe" consists of 1,200 registered members and owns many stores and museums. Since 1924 there has been a powwow every year at the beginning of July. The reservation is located near Mashpee on Cape Cod. After decades of legal disputes, the Mashpee Wampanoag obtained provisional recognition as an Indian tribe from the Bureau of Indian Affairs in April 2006, and then received official Federal recognition in February 2007.[citation needed] There is also still land which is owned separately by families and in common by Wampanoag descendants at both Chapaquddick and Christiantown, and they have also purchased land in Middleborough, Massachusetts to build a casino upon. In addition, a remnant of the Wampanoag reside on St. David Island, Bermuda. They are descendants of those sold overseas in the aftermath of King Philip's War by the Puritans.

Are there still myths and legends around today?
Some like little kids in believen there are such things called unicorns. Some people think ghosts are real some don't. I believen them though.
Well, yes! How else did you think of this question?
This is what i have to add to ths Answer.
***************************************
First off is you mean are there any Living legends around to day. Then it all depends on what you mean by that.
For example: As far as Unexplained Animals Well then The loch ness monster is said to still exists. It is said to be a Dinosaur still around from Prehistoric times. Scientist believe there is a passage from the Bottom of the loch leading out to the sea and the loch ness monster comes into the loch to Reproduce.
If your thinking along the lines of People i haven't hard of any men or woman still living that would count as a legend, However that doesn't mean there aren't any. Just that i am not aware of then.
Remember Legendary indicates that the person of thing in question exceeds Explanation.
Example. Hercules, A Man with unbelievable strength that could only be explained as this man being half man half God.
Or Dragons being an animal resembling a Lizard with a body the size of a house or bigger. This was explained as being the guardians of Gods or Gods them self's.
Of course if Dragons really did exist they were killed out long ago! that much i am sure of.
Hercules well there are surely Man of Equal strength around now. The defining thing about Hercules is that by looking at him you could not tell that he possessed such strength. The men that are in the World's Strongest Man events
Are men with hug body's and Balding muscles. It's clear by looking at then they could pound you into the ground with little effort. lol
As far as legends of past there are endless legends. To many to go over on this page lol A Legend is only a legend until is is proven Real AND Explained.
Good luck on your journey. :)

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.
Ojibwe has many dialects but one word for "pie" is biitoosijigan. Other versions are aagwiitoosijigan, biitoosijigani-bakwezhigan and biitoojiishkweginigan.
A fruit pie is baashkiminasigani-biitoosijigan and a blueberry pie is miini-baashkiminasigani-biitoosijigani-bakwezhigan.
Where are good ojibwa's dessert recipes?
I found this blueberry recipe with soft bread sunflower oil and blueberries/ raisens you mix it together or something bake it or cook it into other bread and that's it.
What is 'Michigan' when translated from Ojibwa to English?
