I'm not really sure of many members there are exactly but I do that my ancestry traced back to the Mackinac tribe and the Sault Saint Marie tribes of Michigan.
This may explain it better then I could. It's meaning is People of Honor. Ojibwe word for truth is De-bwe-win or de-bwe-yin. O-ji bwe or O-ji-bway. Ojibwa means Original People or First People. The bwa is short for before or first which is chi-bwa in Ojibwa. Chippewa is another pronunciation of Ojibwa. Chippewa also means Original People or First People as in; we were here first. As-si-ni-bwan means Rocky Ojibwa's. The "n" is the plural which makes As-si-ni-bwa go from Rocky Ojibwa to Rocky Ojibwa's. Chipewyan or Chippawan, is also another pronunciation of Ojibwa of Chippewa. They, the whites, added the Chippewa "n" plural to Chipewyan or Chippewan, to fool. Honor and Before and First.?
What is the difference between group blogs and group forums? When you join a group, you have access to both the group forum and the group blog. You may be confused as to what the purpose of each is:
A group forum is a written "conversation" between members of a group. For example, in a forum, one member posts a short question or comment on a topic of interest to the group. Other members then read the forum topic and then post a comment that contains an answer or an opinion on the subject. In essence, a forum is a way to garner several different thoughts on a given subject. A group blog is a little different. Typically a blog is a medium by which one author posts his or her thoughts on a given subject. Like an essay, blog posts are typically longer (several paragraphs in length) and contain the established opinion of the author. The author can post several articles to his or her blog. Readers of the blog can sometimes comment on a blog posting if the author solicits comments or feedback. (The following article on the ABA's web site provides an additional description of blogs:
) Participating in both blogs and forums is like having a discussion over a cup of coffee with a valued (and often opinionated) colleague. Both provide a great way to make new connections and build meaningful relationships without geographic limitations. When you contribute to a discussion, whether in a blog or a forum, it adds depth to your Connected profile. Each activity stays associated with you, appears on your profile page and gives others a chance to know more about you and your experience.
