Not very long after the western Chippewas colonized the region east of Lakes Superior and Huron, they began to move westward. It was their Seven Fires Prophecy which forced them to leave for western lands. Among them were the '''Amikwa Chippewas '''who are also known as the '''Nez Perce'''. They are the Nez Perce of Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington. Amikwa means Beavers in Anishinabe. The '''Beaver Tribe including the Sekani '''of British Columbia, are the Amikwa Chippewas. | Not very long after the western Chippewas colonized the region east of Lakes Superior and Huron, they began to move westward.

The focus will be on the northern Saulteaux Indians north of Lake Superior and exactly where their migration ended. From the Sault Ste. Marie region, they followed an old road north of Lake Superior which led to where Winnipeg, Manitoba is now situated. This same road led into what is now Saskatchewan then to what is now Edmonton, Alberta. It then branched off to where the Saulteau First Nations are located in British Columbia. That is where Moberly Lake is. Before the road reached Moberly Lake, it branched off where Dawson Creek, British Columbia is. It led up to where Fort Nelson, British Columbia is now. | The focus will be on the northern Saulteaux Indians north of Lake Superior and exactly where their migration ended. From the Sault Ste.

Another branch of this same old road, branched off near Dawson Creek and extended into central British Columbia. From there, it led to where Prince Rupert, British Columbia is. The whites now call this old road the Highway of Tears. The Chippewas probably named the road Highway of Tears. Similar to the Trail of Tears in the United States which is now known as route 66. | Another branch of this same old road, branched off near Dawson Creek and extended into central British Columbia.

Other branches of the Ojibwa Nation are the Little Shell, Pembina, and Saginaw. The Saulteaux lived north of them, excepting the Pembina who historians probably classify as being Saulteaux. To identify the Saulteaux Indians, information about the Little Shell, Pembina, and Saginaw must be separate so the information about the Saulteaux can be distinct. | Other branches of the Ojibwa Nation are the Little Shell, Pembina, and Saginaw.
