Customs:
The Chippewa lived in things like tipis and wigwams. Wigwams were dome-shaped dwellings and were also used by other tribes. An infant’s care in the Chippewa tribe would include wrapping them tightly in cloth with their arms and legs close to them. Sometimes, their hands or fingers were left out of the wrappings. This would prepare the child for sleep, or be easy for it to be carried on it mother’s back while the tribe was moving. If a snow storm were to occur the mother could throw a shawl over the child's head and a tiny hammock could also be made for the child including this wrap.

Language:
Ojibwe is an Algonquian language spoken by the Chippewa people. Only around 200,000 people today speak it. These people live in the United States and Canada. Ojibwe is not one single language, in fact, there are over a dozen dialects of this language. The differences in these dialects are in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary. The Chippewa feel as if this language is one of the greatest treasures of their heritage.

Economy:
In the Chippewa tribe men were to focus on fishing, hunting, and trading. Women would make clothing, collecting food and firewood, prepare food, and take care of children. There were combined activities such as building canoes too. At first, the Chippewa would trade fur and maple sugar for maize and tobacco to the Huron, but soon became involved with the European trade. They would annually travel to Quebec and Montreal to trade for liquor, tools, clothing, and more.

Religion:
The Chippewa believed in spiritual beings and forces. These were beings like the Sun, Moon, the Four Winds, lightning, and thunder. They also feared things like witches, ghosts, and a cannibalistic giant. The religion was centered on the belief in power obtained from dreams or visions. Shamans were young men that received more spiritual power that normal. Depending of the powers they received, the Shamans would be sorted into different types. Midewiwin, or the “Medicine Dance” was a very important practice for the Chippewa. However, it’s importance was exceeded by the Sun Dance. The Sun Dance was performed in mid-June was to bring good fortune, rain, and good health.

Relationships with other tribes and how it changed when the Europeans came  -
The tribe does not have much of a relationship with other tribes, but the Chippewa are cousins to the Ottawa and Potawatomi. They are all located close to each other. The coming of the Europeans changed this because when the Europeans came they spread disease, which caused problems, but the region changed because the Chippewa multiplied their lands by a factor of 20. Their advanced techniques and weapons allowed them to win over the European land.

Region and common features -
The Chippewa took up parts of northern United States. They took up parts of Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, and part of Ontario and Canada. However, the Chippewa are mainly known for being located in Wisconsin and Canada now. The common features in the region are the great lakes, Northern Highlands and Eastern Lowlands. All of the geographical features in and along their territory are important to their lifestyle because the Chippewa used all of the features in some way. The Chippewa are known as the Northeast woodland cultural group.  They spoke Algonquian language, and they are one of the most powerful and feared groups. The Chippewa adapted to their changing environment and adopted many different lifestyles, cultures and techniques during their migration.

How they interacted with the environment and how the environment affected them -
The Chippewa interacted with their environment through their religion. Their religion gave them a deeper meaning for every plant and part of nature. They interacted with the environment by using it for hunting, farming, clothing and shelter. The environment affected them is several different ways. The Chippewa depended on their environment for essentials. The environment affected them because they hunted, farmed and fished, the environment provided animals and planting ground, and their clothing was mostly made out of the animal skin and fur. They used bark and other resources to build wigwams, which was their shelter. Without their environment they would have had a completely different way of life, and they wouldn't have had the resources they needed .

Trade:
The Chippewa would trade with the Huron. They would trade fur and maple syrup for maize and tobacco. Eventually they became involved in trade with the Europeans and would make annual trips to current-day Quebec and Montreal to trade for tools, clothing, liquor, etc. The Chippewa also adapted to the efficient tools of the French after they brought things like kettles and knives to trade. Tools made out of stone and such then became essentials for the Chippewa. The French also adopted Chippewa technology. Since Chippewa and the French gained a trade relationship, the French participated in rituals and even married Chippea women.

Geographical movement of the Chippewa -
The Chippewa tribe lived mostly in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, part of Canada and Ontario. They never lost land and were never relocated because the Chippewa were one of the most powerful and feared tribes because of their weapons and techniques. The Chippewa eventually gained land and expanded, but they never moved locations. The Chippewa use several different things for transportation. They used canoes on water and snowshoes and toboggans in the winter. In the warmer seasons the Chippewa would travel on foot or on horse. The canoes were the most common and useful way of transportation for the tribe because of fishing and hunting along the Great Lakes.
