context_page_description: Anishinaabe is the autonym for a group of culturally-related indigenous peoples who are resident in what are now Canada and the United States. They also include the Odawa, Saulteaux, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Oji-Cree, and Algonquin peoples. The Anishinaabe speak Anishinaabemowin, or Anishinaabe languages that belong to the Algonquian language family. They historically lived in the Northeast Woodlands and Subarctic.
  The word Anishinaabeg translates to "people from whence lowered". Another definition refers to "the good humans", meaning those who are on the right road or path given to them by the Creator Gitche Manitou, or Great Spirit. Basil Johnston, an Ojibwe historian, linguist, and author, wrote that the term's literal translation is "Beings Made Out of Nothing" or "Spontaneous Beings". Anishinaabe claim the people were created by divine breath.
  Anishinaabe is often mistakenly considered a synonym of Ojibwe; however, it refers to a much larger group of tribes.
