The Ojibwa Tribe--A bit of info [i liked]

Before reading The Birchbark House, by Louise Erdrich, I had not heard of the tribe, Ojibwa. Therefore, I have taken it upon my self to locate some more information about the tribe and maybe see how accurate certain parts of the book are compared to the actual history.
First fact that I find interesting is the Ojibwa tribe is one of the largest tribes, first nation, north of Mexico. Also, Erdrich stayed true to the theme of using birch bark. The Ojibwa used birch bark for their canoes and to make scrolls and of course it was used for their pointed houses. It does say that a popular living space was known as a wigwam and that large groups of Ojibwa lived with each other, otherwise known as a band.
There are all kinds of different bands, each with a distinct name. I wish Erdrich would have given Omakayas’ band a name because then it would be easier to place their location in an actual state. All of the bands are located next to the great lakes, right on the border of Canada.
Louise Erdrich is Anishinabe and has written more books including: Tracks, Love Medicine, and The Bingo Palace. The Birchbark House was a good book, maybe these will be just as good.
