The Mide'wiwin Or "grand Medicine Society" of the Ojibwa
excerpt from the book..The Ojibwa is one of the largest tribes of the United States, and it isscattered over a considerable area, from the Province of Ontario, on theeast, to the Red River of the North, on the west, and from Manitobasouthward through the States of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Thistribe is, strictly speaking, a timber people, and in its westwardmigration or dispersion has never passed beyond the limit of the timbergrowth which so remarkably divides the State of Minnesota i
...nto two partspossessing distinct physical features. The western portion of this Stateis a gently undulating prairie which sweeps away to the Rocky Mountains,while the eastern portion is heavily timbered. The dividing line, at ornear the meridian of 95deg. 50' west longitude, extends due north andsouth, and at a point about 75 miles south of the northern boundary thetimber line trends toward the northwest, crossing the State line, 49deg.north latitude, at about 97deg. 10' west longitude.
