Ojibway Indians of Oregon
It was after anishinabe ogimak became aware of the seven fires prophecy around 1,000 years ago, when the Ojibway commenced to follow the prophecy and invade towards the west. Their journey took them to california, idaho, montana, oregon, washington, british columbia, alaska, and then Siberia. They also invaded the central and northern portions of alberta, saskatchewan, manitoba, the northwest territories, and the yukon at least 1,000 years ago. When the Iron Confederation was formed in the 1720s or the 1730s, the confederation quickly spread out towards the west. By 1800, the second diaspora of Chippewa's had probably reached Oregon and Washington, and probably even the Pacific coastline of those two States. At the same time they spread out towards southern Oregon, then invaded northern California. Chippewa's live on all oregon indian reservations, especially on the oregon reservations where the chimikuan, salishan, and the wakashan languages are spoken, but the whites have forced them to lose their chippewa identity.
