The real name of the tribe is Anishinaabe, referring to a tribal tradition about their origin.

The terms Ojibwe, Ojibwa, Chippewa and Ojibway are all poor attempts by early explorers to pronounce the Word ojiibwabwe(puckered up), referring to the distinctive style of their moccasins. All of these names are equally incorrect, but widely used today.
