Ojibwe
The Ojibwe, Ojibwa, Chippewa, or Saulteaux are an Anishinaabe people of Canada and the United States. They are one of the largest indigenous peoples north of the Rio Grande. In Canada, they are the second-largest First Nations population, surpassed only by the Cree. In the United States, they have the fifth-largest population among Native American peoples, surpassed in number only by the Navajo, Cherokee, Choctaw and Sioux.
Indigenous peoples in Canada
In Section Thirty-five of the Constitution Act, 1982, "Aboriginal peoples of Canada" includes the Indian, Inuit and Métis peoples. "Aboriginal peoples" is a legal term encompassing all indigenous Canadian groups. "Aboriginal peoples" is beginning to be considered outdated and slowly being replaced by the term "Indigenous peoples". "First Nations" (most often used in the plural) has come into general use since the 1970s replacing "Indians" in everyday vocabulary. However, on reserves, "First Nations" is being supplanted by members of various nations referring to themselves by their group or ethnical identity. In conversation this would be "I am Haida", or "we are Kwantlens", in recognition of their First Nations ethnicities.
