Chiefs, war chiefs and Headmen -- Annotated listing of Ojibwa Chiefs 1690 -- 1890 -- Maps -- Michigan -- Wisconsin -- Minnesota -- Southern Ontario, Canada -- Bibliography

"This book is an attempt to acknowledge and honor past leaders of the Ojibwa tribe. I use the name Ojibwa largely in part due to habit. Some prefer to use "Chippewa," others prefer to use "Saulter" and lately many prefer "A-nish-in-a-beg." The time period covered in this book, is approximately 1690 - 1890 and includes the early French contact, British influence and finally the American accultration and alienation. The geographic area inhabited by the Ojibwa involved in this study includes Southern Ontario, Canada and the states of Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. ... The names are in alphabetical order, with the most popular name listed first. Many of the Chief's names are followed by the interpreted English name while other names could not be interpreted for various reasons"--from Pref
