Anishinaabe is a self-description often used by people belonging to the indigenousOdawa, Ojibwe, and Algonkin peoples of North America, who share closely related Algonkian languages. There are many variant spellings of this name, depending on the transcription scheme and also on whether the name is singular or plural. So, different spelling systems may indicate vowel length or spell certain consonants differently (Anishinabe, Anicinape); meanwhile, variants ending in -eg/ek (Anishinaabeg, Anishinabek) come from an Algonkian plural, while those ending in an -e come from an Algonkian singular.
The Anishinabe were originally a woodland people living in the general area of the Great Lakes that spans what are now Michigan in the United States and Ontario, Canada.
Situate the Anishinabe people within their region of the United States by having the class locate the tribe on a map and indicate the historical migration patterns of the group to point out where the people originally lived and where they live today.
The Anishinabe Migration Journey is a project that entails retracing the original Anishinabe migration route in order to raise awareness of the pollution and contamination of the Great Lakes.
