Ojibway Indians of Alberta


In Alberta, a migration of Anishinabe People east, commenced after they heard about those evil people mentioned in Seven Fires Prophesy, invading in early 16th century. Ojibwa Indians of Alberta did not live east in 1492. 1,000's years earlier, they followed prophesy and migrated west to Alberta, Montana, Wyoming and on to Pacific Oceans Coastline. Most Ojibway Indians of Alberta, reject being Ojibway. They are too scared to follow prophesy or are ignorant. Those that are currently identifying as being Ojibway are listed below. I included others as a result of historical information found online. Below is a list of Ojibway Indians of Alberta. Only a few are actually claiming to be Ojibway. We know Chipewyan (all Athabascan People) are Ojibway, as are Cree People (they are the Athabascan Beaver Tribe). They won't accept it however. Montana Reserve has strong ties to chief Rocky Boy. Robert Smallboy was either his son or grandson. Chief Alexis Piche (it's really bi-zhiw which means bobcat and lynx in Ojibway) Bobtail may have been chief Rocky Boy's father. More investigating must be followed. Bizhiw is pronounced "be-zhoo." Chief Pishe and his brothers were set aside Hobbema Reserve!
