Chipawa Tribe
"Chipawa" is a historical variant spelling of Chippewa (Ojibwe/Anishinaabe) found in early American treaty documents. This alternate orthography reflects the varied transcription practices of 18th and 19th-century treaty scribes. The Chipawa referenced in these treaties are the same Anishinaabe people described under the Chippewa designation.
