The Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) people historically lived around the Great Lakes region, including areas of the U.S. and Canada.

The Anishinaabe, also known as the Ojibwe, are an indigenous people who have lived around the Great Lakes for centuries. Their traditional territories span regions in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and parts of Canada, including Ontario and Manitoba. Known for their deep connection to the land and water, the Ojibwe people relied on the lakes for resources such as fish, wild rice, and water. The Great Lakes played a vital role in their culture, spirituality, and survival. Today, Anishinaabe communities continue to live in the region, maintaining strong cultural ties to the lakes.
