My maternal ancestors have been in Canada for thousands of years. Some Research says 25,000 years. I am a mix of many ethnicities and am called "Metis" French Canadian, Ojibwe, Odawa, Cree and even some Shawnee. I do not believe the Mormon stories since I know that Ojibwe lived in Canada 15,000 years before Adam was formed (5778 years ago)
In the USA the Ojibwa are called "Chippewa" It's like "O-Jibwe" without the "O" .... Ji-bwa"
We also call ourselves "Anishinabe" : Ani-Shin-Abe
When I was doing some research on various spellings of this Word I realized that they are similar to the Hebrew Words Ani-Shin-Aba
אני אש אבא
Ani= I am אני
Shin=Fire ש
Aba= Father אבא
I am the Fire, Spirit, Spark, Breath of the Father ....
Anishinabe is a word for people or mankind .... Man is made from the Fire (spark) of the Father.
Anishinaabe (or Anishinabe, plural: Anishinaabeg) is the autonym for a group of culturally related Indigenous Peoples in Canada and the United States that include the Odawa, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Oji-Cree, Mississaugas, Chippewa, and Algonquin peoples. The Anishinaabeg speak Anishinaabemowin, or Anishinaabe languages that belong to the Algonquian language family. They traditionally have lived in the Northeast Woodlands and Subarctic.
The word Anishinaabeg translates to "people from whence lowered." Another definition refers to "the good humans," meaning those who are on the right road or path given to them by the Creator Gitche Manitou, or Great Spirit. The Ojibwe historian, linguist, and author Basil Johnston wrote that its literal translation is "Beings Made Out of Nothing" or "Spontaneous Beings," since Anishinaabeg myths claim they were created by divine breath.

Contrary to the stories of the Mormons if there is a relationship between the indigenous People of Israel and the Indigenous People of Canada it goes in the opposite direction ... the Algonquin (Anishinabe) traveled by boat to Israel 20,000 years ago and settled at the Sea of Galilee. This is where you will also find people with Ojibwa "X2" maternal DNA ... among the Galilean Druze.
