more complete phrases. Keep this in mind when visiting the Anishinaabe
language pages.Also note that there are three basic Ojibwe dialects

Ojibwa
Culture and History
According to Professor Dennis Jones who teaches the Ojibway language
at the University of Minnesota, either Ojibwe or Ojibway are actually
correct spellings, but some people feel Ojibwe should be the preferred
standardized spelling. I have chosen to use the Ojibway spelling only
because that is the way I originally learned it. If I had it to do over
again I would probably use Ojibwe.

Spirit
of White Earth: Winnie Jourdain, a survivor's spirit
It's a mystery that has haunted Winnie Jourdain for all of her 98 years.
"This is the land of the free, the land of Lincoln," Winnie
said. "How could they have taken everything away from us?"
Imagine being born in a place in northwestern Minnesota, not far from
Lake Itasca, the source of the Mississippi River. Imagine a place where
eagles soar above marshes and into icy blue skies that dazzle squinting
eyes and seem too bright and clean to be real.

Tribe of NE and IA History
The Omaha Tribe originated because of a division within the Sioux Nation
in the early 1500s. They had lived together near the junction of the
Ohio and Wabash Rivers, near present-day Cincinnati, Ohio. Migrating
westward with the Quapaw, the Omahas settled at the mouth of the Missouri
River on the northern edge of present-day St. Louis, Missouri. The Quapaw
traveled further south and located on the western side of the Mississippi.

Many centuries before European explorers found

loving people created an urban life in harmony with the environment
and with each other. Their religion was pantheistic and deeply spiritual
and constituted an important part of daily life, within which they created
an equitable government, a magnificent architecture, intensive agriculture
with a sophisticated irrigation system and a highly developed art in
pottery, weaving, jewelry, leather work and other crafts.
