ABOUT THE CHIPPEWA INDIANS
The Chippewa indians are a large North American tribe. They speak the Algonquian language. The Algonquian language is a music-like language. Aaniin (pronounced ah-neen) is a friendly greeting, while Miigwech (pronounced mee-gwetch) means “Thank you.”
The Chippewa pursued a nomadic life. They live in dome-shaped houses of 15-20 ft. These houses are called wigwams. These were built by women and given a small hole in the roof to allow smoke to escape, just like tepees. They were made of saplings and sticks lashed together to make a dome, then the saplings and poles were covered in birch bark left over from the tree.
Their best craftsmanship was the birch bark canoes. Just like you fish in boats today the Chippewa did
