The Ojibwe Anishinaabe nation of the Great Lakes whose pictograph scrolls, wild rice harvest, and Treaty 3 fishing rights made them the most widely dispersed and most culturally enduring First Nation in Canada.
Ojibwe — the Anishinaabe nation whose birchbark canoes, wild rice harvests, and Midewiwin spiritual traditions made them the dominant Indigenous presence across the Great Lakes and the boreal shield from Lake Huron to the Turtle Mountains of North Dakota, expanding westward through the eighteenth century to displace the Lakota from the Minnesota woodlands in one of the great Indigenous geopolitical transformations of the post-contact era. Keepers of the sacred birchbark scrolls of the Grand Medicine Society that encoded astronomical, medicinal, and ceremonial knowledge in a writing system developed independently of European influence, the Ojibwe have produced some of Canada's most celebrated Indigenous intellectuals, artists, and activists — from Norval Morrisseau whose Woodland art style transformed Canadian painting to Winona LaDuke whose environmental advocacy carries Ojibwe land ethics onto the world stage. Today Ojibwe language revitalization efforts are among the most vigorous in North America, reclaiming Ojibwemowin one immersion classroom at a time.
