If you'd like to know a few easy Ojibway words, aaniin (pronounced ah-neen) is a friendly greeting and miigwech (pronounced mee-gwetch) means "thank you." You can listen to an Ojibway man talk his language here and read an Ojibway picture glossary here.”

Many Ojibway children like to go hunting and fishing with their fathers. In the past, Indian kids had more chores and less time to play, just like colonial children. But Ojibway kids did have dolls and toys to play with, and older boys liked to play lacrosse.

“Yes--the Ojibway Indian tribe was well-known for their birchbark canoes. These canoe pictures compare long-nose Ojibway canoes to canoe styles of other tribes.

(There were no horses in North America until colonists brought them over from Europe.) Today, of course, the Chippewas also use cars... and non-native people also use canoes.”
