Ojibwe

This term serves as an endonym for the Indigenous people of the Great Lakes region. When used to refer to a person, it functions as a countable noun, though it is frequently used as a collective noun to describe the community as a whole.

As a language name, it is an uncountable noun. In its adjective form, it describes cultural artifacts, traditions, or linguistic traits. Users should be aware that "Chippewa" is a common alternative term, though "Ojibwe" is often preferred by the community members themselves.
