Talk:List of Ojibwa ethnonyms

Untitled

In the 1750's a French fur trader lived amongst the Ojibwa in SW Ontario and was known as Montcort (French=Shortsleve). I was told by a fellow who was born and brought up in France that there is no such family name in France of Montcort. I belive the Ojibwa he lived with observed him always with his sleves rolled up so they named him accordingly since Montcort means shortsleve. He was living with an Ojibwa Indian Maiden and they had a daughter who later married another Franch fur trader named Borré. Borré was our family name until 2 or 3 years prior to the start of the U.S. Social Security Administration. My paternal grandfather and his 2 brothers were tired of and frustrated over other people unable to spell nor pronounce that name correctly. They chenged it to Borah, since people could pronounce and spell it correctly easily due to the fact that William E. Borah was a very popular U.S. Senator from Idaho.
I have been wanting to know if the Ojibwa and the Souix warred before or after the 1750's. If before, we decendants of the Borrés are part Anishinabe. If after, we are part Ojibwa.
This was composed by William M. Borah (as 63.21.7.116) who lives in Florida.

This page isn't about family names among the Ojibwa, but rather the various names the tribe was known by. For the family records, try various historical records, including pay records, church records, etc. For the Dakota-Ojibwa wars, that really depends on where you are. For Minnesota, it ended in 1760. For Wisconsin, it ended in the 1740's. In UP Michigan, it ended sometime around 1680's. Ontario, as far as I am aware, did not experience the Dakota-Ojibwa wars, though there you see the Anishinaabe and the Iroquois Confederacy warring with each other, with the Wendat and the Neutrals caught in the middle.

Article or list?

Aaniin. It seems to me that this should be moved to List of Ojibwa ethnonyms--that's essentially what it is, after all (as the opening sentence itself says). Same with the articles like Nipissing ethnonyms and the like. Any thoughts or objections? --Miskwito (talk) 00:52, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I agree. Originally, it was a sub-page titled Ojibwa/Names. What to make the move? In about 2 weeks, I'll have a similar one for Odaawaa ready to be posted. CJLippert (talk) 01:47, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay, done (I think--did I miss any?). --Miskwito (talk) 01:55, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
