MY TRIBE OF INDIAN WHERE AM FROM IS CALLED 'CHIPPEWA. WE ARE VERY PEACEFUL AND HARDWORKING PEOPLE. WE SPEND MOST OF OUR TIME FISHING,HUNTING,FARMING,SQUASH,AND HARVESTING OF MANOOMIN.OUR HABITAThabitat (wiigiwaam or wigwam) was chiefly made of birch bark, juniper bark and willow saplings. It is indeed quite astonishing that the Chippewa Indians had a trade of copper across the continent. Apart from copper, certain types of rocks utilized for spears and arrowheads were also traded by this native tribe. Making use of petroforms, petroglyphs, and pictographs was a part of their traditional culture. OUR LANGUAGE A great many number of Chippewa Indians still speak the Ojibwe language popularly referred to as Anishinaabemowin. The Ojibwe language most probably belongs to the Algonquian linguistic group and it has been wonderfully derived from the Proto-Algonquian. OUR RELIGION Spirits mostly guided the lives of the Chippewa Indians and they were ardent believers of native rituals and ceremonies. Birch bark scrolls and Petroforms were extensively used both for knowledge and information and for religious ceremonies. Pictographs and Medicine Wheels were no less significant. In course of time, the sun dance of the Chippewa Indians was rejuvenated in Canada though certain parts of the ceremony have been discarded. Mythology and popular belief of the Chippewa Indians are also quite significant.
