AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This paper investigates the '…major hypotheses regarding the migration and emergence of the Northern Ojibwa. Documentary evidence is provided which suggests that groups known today as Northern Ojibwa have inhabited the boreal forest at least since contact. Rather than a migration or general population movement, as Bishop (1970, 1974, 1975, 1976) argues, the 'emergence' of the Northern Ojibwa was nothing more than the diffusion of the term 'Ojibwa' to ethnic units known at contact under a host of different names -- among them Kilistinon or Cree, Monsoni, Muskego, and Gens des Teres ' (p. 75).
