Abstract
The western Ojibwa are the descendants of Ojibwa people who migrated into the West from their settlements around the Great Lakes in the late eighteenth century. This work traces their origins, adaptation to the West, and the way in which they coped with the many challenges they faced in the first century of their history in that region between the years 1780 to 1870 (p. ix). These challenges, examined in detail in this study, involved the surviving of epidemic disease, the rise and fall of the fur trade, the depletion of game in the region, the establishment of European settlements in the area, the loss of tribal lands, and the Canadian government's assertion of political control over them.
