=== '''Various Spellings:''' Chippewa, Ojibwa, Ojibway & Origins of the Name === | === '''Various Spellings:''' Chippewa, Ojibwa, Ojibway & Origins of the Name === | ||
In their earliest history they were often called Chippeway or Chipaway. Chippewa is the Anglicized version of Ojibway (also spelled Ojibwe and Ojibwa). The origins of the name Ojibwa are really not known. However, the word for before in Ojibwa is Chi-bwa or Ji-bwa. Ojibwa has nothing to do with moccasins. Later, an "o" was added and a "y" also. And an "n" was used also. Before, can represent "first and original" also. | |||
So Chi-bwa is the correct name. However, the "o" can mean "the" so it can actually represent, The First and The Originals. Ojibwa probably means The Original, while Ojibway probably means The Originals. Then we have to include Bwan as well. We know the "n" in Bwan is the plural so Ojibwan may be correct as may be Chippewan (properly spelled Chipweyan). Exactly what the "o" and "y" represent is a mystery. The name Chippewa is more commonly used in the United States and the name Ojibway is more common in Canada<ref>Facts for Kids: Ojibway Indians (Chippewa, Ojibway) [http://www.bigorrin.org/chippewa_kids.htm Available online]</ref> <ref>*Hodge, Frederick Webb.
