<h2>Ojibwe</h2>
<p>Ojibwe are one of the largest groups of indigenous people of North America (United States and Canada).  Depending on the region, Ojibwe are known for birch bark canoes, wildrice-<i>manoomin</i>, and maple syrup.   Also known as Anishinaabe and Chippewa.  The word Ojibwe means ‘cooks food outside’.  The Ojibwe Star Knowledge files available for Stellarium are an adaptation of the <b><i>“Ojibwe Giizhig Anung Masinaaigan, Ojibiwe Sky Star Map”</i></b>, created by A. Lee, W. Wilson, C. Gawboy, 2012.  More details can be found in the constellation guidebook <b><i>Ojibwe Sky Star Map Constellation Guide: An Introduction to Ojibwe Star Knowledge</i></b>. Also available are Ojibwe star map posters, Ojibwe planispheres, curriculum, and other resources.</p>
