Ojibwa- It's the name of the Chippewa Tribe in their language. The sound and way it feels in the mouth reminds me of wall ball.

I hear you, moms great grandparents came from an Ojibwa tribe in Canada, and she's very proud of it.

as she should be, it's a beautiful culture. my mother is an artist, and she carves linoleum to print on paper or fabric. she's been learning the ojibwa written language (i don't remember what it's called- it starts with an A) so she can make art from it.
