Ah, I've heard of Chippewa, of course, and Ojibwa would seem to be the Canadian-Indian version of the same. Most of the action in the book takes place in and around the US/canuck border, and in Ontario.

BTW, reservations are called reserves in Canada. I didn't know that before.

BTW2 still not explained this baffling thread and why you intro'd indians.
