My paternal grandma is Norwegian and from Wisconsin. She immigrated there as a child. My other side is Athabaskan. Even my Norwegian grandma called those the Ojibwe woods. But she was pretty great in showing respect for things of this nature.

Argued with someone who called the woodlands of Wisconsin “beautiful Norwegian woods” and I said “you mean Ojibwe woods, Norwegian woods are in Norway” she said Norwegians had been there for generations. Cried when I corrected her again and now I’m the mean one…again. 🙄

I’m not familiar with the area… could you spell Ojibwe phonetically for me? I’m very curious how that is pronounced

She must have been really confused if she ever came across anyone Norway and Wisconsin have similar nature.
So. Confused.
