A People on the Move 1.The Ojibwe migrated from the far Northeast (shores of the Atlantic) and followed the Saint Lawrence River and the Great Lakes (to the shores of Superior) to get to Minnesota. 2.As they travelled, they split into different tribes: Potawatomi, Ottawa, and Ojibwe. These tribes used to be one people. 3.Oral tradition is also very important to the Ojibwe. It has their migration stories and stories about great wars in their history.

A New Way of Life pg most important ideas from the section. 1.The Ojibwe’s life changed when they started trading with the French – They gave the French fur while the French gave them goods like guns, baskets, axes, clothes and other tools that made life easier. 2.Bad effects of the trading: The Ojibwe got diseases from the Europeans and many of them died. Sometimes they were cheated. 3.They hunted so much that their traditional activities faded away, they started running out of animals to hunt, and they started taking Dakota hunting grounds which led to fighting.
