Nearly all think it is pronounced as So as in "so there" and to as in "your big toe." However, that is not correct. It is pronounced as Soo as in "Sioux" and to as in "your big toe." Sooto.<br> | ||
Their original land was located in the immediate surrounding region of Sault Ste. Marie. Ojibwa authors from the 19th century wrote about Chippewa's from the west forcing their way to the east, after the whites began to settle the area.

Copway wrote that these Chippewa settlers colonized the region east of Lake Superior and east of Lake Huron, after 1634 and 1635. | Their original land was located in the immediate surrounding region of Sault Ste.
