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, 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.
Then after the whites invaded in the 16th century, another anishinabe westward invasion commenced from out of northwestern
Ontario and northern Minnesota, at around the mid 1730s.
They had to
fight their way into that region in order to settle down and live there. They drove out the native Athabascan
tribes. They drove them west of Great Slave Lake. After the whites brought that region under their control
(in reality the whites have yet to bring their land under their control) they forced the Ojibway to lose their
identity by claiming that they are Chipewyan and to a lessor degree, Cree. However, they are Ojibway with an admixture of
Athabascan peoples who were absorbed by the more numerous Ojibways. They are still
claiming to control a country that is over 185,000 sq. mi. in size. It reaches from the eastern portions of Great Bear
Lake, down to Great Slave Lake (the mid and eastern portions of that huge lake), then goes eastward to the Manitoba-
Saskatchewan border. To see a map of the Akaitcho Territory
