Summary:
Chicago (see Zhgaagong, which may mean ""Place of the Skunk""). Kemo Sabe (see Giimoozaabi, which may mean ""he looks out in secret""), and Giche-gumi (from Longfellow's poem, see gchigami) are all words that came originally from algonquian languages and can be found in this dictionary. These languages have also given English such words as ""moccasin"" and ""wigwam"". In addition, words such as ""fire water"" (for hard liquor or whiskey) are direct translations from Algonquian languages. This 9,000 word dictionary gives information on the Ojibwa language, which is still spoken by over 45,000
