Shoshone Ojibwa's | Ojibwa Tribes
Peter Jones tells Anishinabe People who they are. According to Peter Jones, these following groups of Anishinabe People spoke a same language or are Ojibway. They are these following: A-ben-a-ki; Al-gon-quin; Chip-pe-wa; Cree; Delaware (aka Len-ni Le-na-pe); Il-li-ni; In-nu; Kick-a-poo; Ma-hi-can (Jones called them Mo-he-gan); Ma-li-seet; Me-nom-in-ee; Mi-am-i; Mis-sis-sau-ga (Jones group); Mon-tag-nais; Mun-see; Na-ka-we; Nan-ti-coke; Nip-is-sing; No-quet; O-da-wah (Ot-ta-wa); O-ji-bwa; O-ji-bway; O-ji-bwe; Pas-sa-ma-quod-dy; Pen-ob-scot; Pot-a-wat-o-mi; Saul-teau (aka Saul-teaux - supposedly both are pronounced as So-to yet Soo-to is probably the correct pronunciation); Sauk and Shaw-nee. Jones claimed that when they came together, some of them at first had difficulties understanding each other but after a short while they were fully capable of speaking with each other. They were united in one nation as a result of Seven Fires Prophesy. They took those predictions seriously and it was, in fact, Seven Fires Prophesy which kept Anishinabe People united in one nation. Arapaho (aka Crow and Gros Ventre), Blackfoot and Cheyenne (they are Shawnee Ojibway's - Shaw-nee is derived from the Ojibway word for southerner which is Shaw-an) are among oldest of Anishinabe People. There are four Algonquian Tribes in California who are obviously Anishinabe. They are the Wappo, Wiyot, Yuki and Yurok. They are probably Anishinabek who have lived out west longest. If they are not, than Salish and Wakashan People are.
According to 1832's Edinburgh Encyclopedia, Athabascan People are Ojibway. They knew during those times (1830's), that Ojibway People came up from a southwestern location then western location later, and forced their way to Atlantic Oceans shores. They took control of land from Missouri River to Atlantic Ocean. They did not exterminate those tribes native to North America's eastern shores. They forced them to migrate west to North Mexico. That be Mexico before English whites brought North Mexico under their control. Today, that location or North Mexico, is now Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. After Ojibway People reached east of Lake Superior or St. Lawrence River, they sent large numbers of their soldiers and their families, north to Hudson Bay then to Beaufort Sea or Arctic Ocean. They gave rise to Chipewyan People, Copper People (aka Yellowknife People), Dogrib People and Cree People. It's evidence that Cree People must be listed as Athabascan. That be Beaver People. There are no Cree First Nations in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Chief Sagima sent many Ojibway Soldiers and their families to Hudson Bay and Beaufort Sea, to fight invading Eskimos and their white allies (Russians), in the 16th century.
There are other groups of Anishinabe People who have had their nationality stolen from them. They include Cherokee and all other Iroquois Tribes including Tuscaroras. Both Cherokee and Tuscarora, claimed they originally lived north. Cherokee claimed they originally lived near the Great Lakes. Shortly after whites invaded, Anishinabe ogimak sent large numbers of their soldiers southeast or what is now southeastern part of United States. They did so to defend Indian land. Southern Anishinabe People are Cherokee, Lumbee, Powhatan, and Tuscarora. Out west, many more Anishinabe People live but they have been robbed of their nationality. Caddoan Tribes are obviously Anishinabe. Click here to learn about them. All Colonies, Rancherias, and Reservations established after 1887 out west, are Anishinabe. Read Seven Fires Prophesy. In 1887, United States passed that illicit Dawes Act which eradicated huge Reservations in western part of United States. Afterwards, those Anishinabe People who continued to follow Seven Fires Prophesy, commenced an exodus which brought them to California and far north to Canada, Alaska and elsewhere.
You're probably among those that believe Ojibwa means harmful. Your wrong! Old Ojibwa Dictionaries are very helpful. Ojibwa words for "before" are "nond," "Bwaa," "tchi bwaa," and "bwaa mashi." Of course, you already know "before" means "earlier," "first," "genuine," "original," "previously," "prior," exc. It was Ojibwa Peoples way of telling whites, that Ojibwa People were here first. Ojibwa People used "bwaa" frequently to name themselves. Adding their "n" plural to "bwaa," makes it "bwaan." It means "Originals." Chippewa and Ojibwa have their origins in same word for "before," which is Bwaa. However, they used "Tchi bwa" to identify with. You can obviously hear Chippewa in it. It's also our origin for "O-ji-bwa." It means "The Original." Though for an extremely long time they have used O-ji-bwa, it's genuine form is "O-ji-bwaan." Translated, it means The Originals. It should be written as "O Chi Bwaan." That's keeping with "tchi bwa." And it does sound like "O Chi Ba Waan." Another example is "Assiniboine." Ojibwa's pronounced it "As-sin-na Bwaan." It means Stoney or Rocky Originals. In Alberta and Montana, they named themselves "As-sin-na Bwaan." It means "Stony Originals" of course! You possibly think "O-ji Bway and O-ji Bwe" also mean Original People. It don't! Ojibway or Ojibwe, mean "The Big Falls or The Big Rapids." Word for "falls and rapids" in Ojibway is "Ba-wi or Pa-wi." It depends on dialect. Adding "the" which is "o," and "big" which is "chi," it becomes "O Chi Ba-wi." It's pronunciation is "O Chip Pa-wi." How they obtained the name of "The Big Falls or the Big Rapids" is not known. If it deals with waterfalls and rapids we can be certain the name came from what is now Great Falls, Montana. There's no difference in definitions. Depending on what dialect produced the name Ojibway, the 'ji or chi' means 'Great.' For some reason, whites named or kept the name Great Falls. At southwest Montana, they also kept the name of Mississippi River. However, they were sneaky and instead of using Mississippi, they instead used "Big Hole River." Definition of "Mississippi" is 'All River, Entire River and Whole River.' Of course, Mississippi is an OJibwa word that means All River, Entire River and Whole River. Source or headwaters of Mississippi River is located at southwest Montana or the extreme south portion of Big Hole Basin. During 19th century, use of Chippaway was common. It does need further investigations!
As for "Anishinabe and Anishinini" both have a same meaning. We have to write them this way: A-nish i Na-be and A-nish i Ni-ni to decipher what each means. Ojibwa word for "male" is "na-be." Ojibwa word for man is "ni-ni." In some dialects it's "I-ni-ni." So we know "male or man" is in both words. Now we have to investigate what "A-nish" means. In Ojibwa, their word for "why" with an exclamation symbol and well is "A-nish." Why as "Why that is clever." Well, well, well you're very sneaky. Translated, both "A-nish-i-na-be and A-nish-i-ni-ni" mean "Shrewd Man." Somehow this name is yet in use. In fact, most Ojibwa People rather use it than Ojibwa. Try googling "Ojibway" and you'll be presented with "Ojibwe" instead. For ages they have written "Ojibway" as "Ojibway." Today, they almost always use "Ojibwe" online. They are not doing it because they know what it means. They are doing it to divert you.
According to tribal historian William W. Warren (his historical information obviously relates to the supernatural), the Ojibwa Totemic System originated after 6 beings emerged from a Great Salt Lake (in Ojibwa Language they name oceans Ki-tcha Gami which means Enormous Lake - in some dialects they possibly used Mi-tcha Gami) and provided them with their totemic system. The "tcha" is pronounced as you pronounce the "che" in cheek. You noticed I wrote "Great Salt Lake" instead of Great Salt Water as Warren wrote it. He or they, wrote it incorrectly. Using Great Salt Water does not make sense when naming either an ocean or lake! So Great Salt Lake is correct. Ojibwa People were living in north Utah when this ancient event happened. It's possible that 6 beings emerged from Great Salt Lake but lets be skeptical! They or Warren used Terrorists Threats! After the Ojibwa totemic system was utilized, it became highly organized. Six major totems were strictly used by Ojibwa People. However, as a result of skepticism, William W. Warren can't be trusted. He sided with whites and was a Minnesota State Legislator. He knew about Seven Fires Prophesy and that Dakota People are Ojibwa. He considered Dakota People Mongols, while he identified Ojibwa People with Hebrews. If you know about Seven Fires Prophesy, you know Warren was deceitful! Ojibwa People are the infamous Monguls as well as the infamous Huns, Mughals and Vikings. Long ago, they were out preparing the future. After their Totemic System was created it became their government. Six major totems were created. They are:
Military and Police Totem or Noka Dodam
Trade Totem or Odawug Dodam
Hunter Totem or Gaossed Dodam
Fisher Totem or Gagoiked Dodam
Agriculture Totem or Kitigewin Dodam
Grand Medicine Society Totem or Midewiwin Dodam
According to tribal historian William W. Warren, the Military and Police Totem or Nation was largest of the six major Ojibwa Totems. His descriptions of the members of the Ojibwa Military and Police Totem or Nation, fits in well with this time we live in. Excepting their long hair of course. Warren described them as ill tempered, behaved like the emblem or symbol of their nation which is a bear, had long coarse hair that rarely thinned and grayed as they got older. They were always on the borders ready to engage in battle. That included fighting Ojibwa Traitors! They were extremely vicious with traitors! Overall, the Ojibwa Military and Police Totem ruled Ojibwa People. Warren refused to correctly describe the Ojibwa Totemic System. He instead opted to detail what we will call nonsense! The Trade Totem handled everything related to trade among Ojibwa People and other peoples. Many non Ojibwa natives were odopted into the Ojibwa Trade Totem. They caused Ojibwa People much trouble. The Hunter Totem and Fisher Totem each had to hunt and fish. Europeans easily lured many of their members to their forts and trade posts by using alcohol and drugs. Their reason for doing so was to cause civil war among Ojibwa People. So addicted were they to alcohol and drugs, they dramatically decimated the wildlife. Thus, Ojibwa Soldiers were frequently sent out to find them in order to save the wildlife they depended on. If captured by Ojibwa Soldiers, many were tortured to death for a week to over a month. That still didn't stop them. Those Ojibwa Traitors always named Ojibwa Soldiers "The Sioux."
So advanced was the Grand Medicine Society or Midewiwin Dodam, medications were invented by them that Europeans borrowed. Medications for tape worm prove Ojibwa Doctors performed autopsies. Though a primitive people, Ojibwa People were like many other primitive people and created an advanced Health and Care System. Within the Ojibwa Midewiwin Dodam were smaller totems. One was the "Fire Keepers Totem." Among Ojibwa People they were known as the Bodewadome or Potawatomi. So important was their totem or nation, Ojibwa's at all Ojibwa Villages were dependant on them for fuel and to keep their fires going. If their fires went out, a request to this very important Ojibwa Totem for a new blaze was sent. Also for fuel when they needed fuel. Many smaller totems were in each of the six major totems. To marry within the same totem was illegal. If caught, often was the case that the couple was executed! Each totem (even the small ones within the six major ones) considered their totem a clan, family, ect. Surnames came from the totem they belonged to.
These people are obviously Anishinabe and non Anishinabe. Shoshonean People are Ojibway! When their first diaspora occurred around 1,500 years ago to over 2,000 years ago, Anishinabe Soldiers split up into three groups. One went northwest to Alaska then Asia. Another went straight westward. Another went southwest. I will focus on groups of Anishinabe Soldiers and their families, who went straight west and southwest. They forced their way to Pacific Oceans Coastline. They also forced their way down into what are now Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Other States they brought under their control include California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. They then also forced all of Mexico, Central America, and western South America under their control. To learn about these people who are an admixture of Anishinabe and Uto, click here. Andrew Blackbird was very aware that Ojibway was spoken extensively among Shoshone People which means Shoshone People are Ojibway. Shoshone People are the northern most speakers of the Uto-Aztecan Language Family which was originally known as the Mexican-Opata Language Family. Included as Shoshone are Cahuilla People including Cupeno People, Gabrielino People, Juaneno People, Luiseno People and Serrano People. All live in southern California. Their district extended from what is now Los Angeles east to near Colorado River. Bannock People, Chemehuevi People, Comanche People, Kawaiisu People, Mono People, Paiute People and Ute People are also Shoshone. And Hopi People are also Shoshone. In Mexico, Ojibway Soldiers subjugated many tribes and mixed Ojibway culture and language with their subjects cultures and languages. Most numerous Ojibway's of Mexico are either Aztecs or the Maya. Although Maya Language is not considered a part of the Mexican-Opata Language Family, their name (Maya) indicates they are Ojibway. The Ojibway word for Peninsula is "Ma-ya-mi." Ojibway's named Florida "Ma-ya-mi" because they knew it was a Peninsula. They named Ojibway's living there "Ma-ya-miig." Translated Ma-ya-miig means "Peninsula People" or people that live on a Peninsula. Ojibway word for "Peninsular" is "Ma-ya-mid." It means a person living on a peninsula.
Where are those Indian Nations who once lived along Atlantic Oceans eastern coast? They are Mexicans who live in United States and also in northern Mexico. Following prophesy, Anishinabe Soldiers forced those Indian Nations who once lived along Atlantic Oceans eastern coast, to migrate elsewhere. Most probably fled to South America but many fled to Mexico and Central America. Many fled to Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Colorado. Today, they are Mexicans who live in Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. They are quite numerous. They have been robbed of their nationality by whites and will never accept being a Native American who originally lived in United States.
By far, Cree dialect of Anishinabe, has most speakers (around 100,000). Next are these: Ojibwe with 28,825; North Ojibwe or Severn Ojibwe (aka Oji-Cree) with 13,630; Algonquin with 1,660; Ottawa with 601; Potawatomi with ?; Western Ojibwe or Nakawe (aka Saulteaux) with an unknown number of speakers. Anishinabe Language is dying out. You can't learn how to speak Ojibway because whites have corrupted this language so disgracefully. You can try and learn Ojibway yet you'll quickly find out you can't or what's presented is not learnable! We know Ojibway Language was Monosyllabic and was considered one of earths most perfect languages. Today, it's one of earths most imperfect languages! Of the 150,000 or so that speak Ojibway, only a few thousand actually are fluent in Ojibway. In the United States, the number of Ojibway People that are fluent in Ojibway Language are very few. Possibly around 1,000 or so. Most only know a few Ojibway words. They try learning Ojibway Language yet quickly learn they can't. It's a violated language!
