The Ojibwa, or Chippewa, made up one of the largest tribes of North American Indians. In the mid-eighteenth century they occupied a large are from what is now North Dakota to the east shore of Lake Huron. Ojibwa is an Algonquian language. This is a translation of the New Testament into the Cheppewa language, by Edwin James, assisted by John Tanner, missionaries who had worked with the Ojibwa for thirty years. The Gospels of Mark and John were printed in 1831, and the entire New Testament appeared in 1833. At the end are the Ten Commandments and a Hymn in the same language. |
