Ojibwe Dialect and Culture Differences

Anton Treuer shares the historical and cultural contexts that gave birth to a wide array of cultural and linguistic variance within Ojibwe language dialects and cultural patterns. Topics covered include the emergence of the Ojibwe as distinct from other tribes in the Algonquian Language Family, migration throughout the Great Lakes and Plains, key cultural concepts around Ojibwe leadership and authority, intermarriage with the French, and the Ojibwe experience with oppression, all of which impact cultural variation in Ojibwe communities today.
