Daily Life in Olden Times Woodland Ojibwa/Chippewa Indians Who were the Ojibwa?   The Ojibwa and Chippewa are not only the same tribe; they are the same word, pronounced a little differently. Some of the ways their name has appeared is Ojibweg, Ojibwey, Otchipwe, and Chippeway. The Woodland Ojibawa people use none of these spellings. The Ojibwa called themselves "original men". They lived in the northern Great Lakes Region. They were skilled hunters and trappers. They rarely used horses or hunted buffalo. They liked their forest home.  Why did the Ojibwa hide pebbles in moccasins? What is a Charcoal Sad Face? How do you play Butterfly Hide and Seek? What is a Dream Catcher?
