To day most Ojibwas live in small reservations in Northern Minnesota, and Wisconsin, like Fond Du Lac, Grand Portage, and Leech Lake.**

**Video** This is a video of a indian who is sad because of all the garbage in the world. So we should all do our part to clean up earth.

**People/Battles** There are some important chiefs in the tribes, like.
 * 1) Chief Broken Tooth witch was the emperor of Sandy Lake
 * 2) Chief Hole in Day. Both of them battled the Sioux while they were chiefs.

For the most part the Ojibwas are a peaceful tribe. They even acted as middlemen for French traders. For 130 years the Ojibwas and the Sioux battled continuously until the treaty of 1825, when the two tribes were separated the Sioux went to Southern parts of Minnesota. You can see were the Sioux went after the treaty of 1825.

**Weapons** The Ojibwas had a large amount of weapons, like the....
 * 1) Ojibwa (chippewa) bow, it is an older bow made of Osage orange wood. At auction this bow would be $3,400.00.
 * 2) The Pawnee Tomahawk, it is a smaller kind of axe. It is 24 1/2 in long, with large glass beads hanging from a pice of hide. And the axe blade is 4 1/4 in long, it was the most liked weapon of the Ojibwas. At auction this weapon would be $35,000.00 (WOW)

**Religion** The religion of the Ojibwas was largely personal, the thought that spiritual leaders could cast hunting and love charms. The leaders were respected as well as feared, for there supernatural powers. Those powers could be used for good or evil. The shamans or spiritual leaders could only use there powers when they reached middle age.

**Housing** The Ojibwas lived in tepees, they are tent-like American Indian houses used by Plains tribes. A tepee is made of a cone-shaped wooden frame with a covering of buffalo hide. Like modern tents, tepees are carefully designed to set up and break down quickly. As a tribe moved from place to place, each family would bring their tipi poles and hide tent along with them. Originally, tepees were about 12 feet high, but once the Plains Indian tribes acquired horses, they began building them twice as high.
