Ojibwe = Chippewa, aka Anishinabe, that's what they call themselves.
And they are't a "Northeast" tribe, they started out around the Great Lakes.
Linguistically Algonkian, and there were Algonkians all up and down the East Coast, but not Ojibwe/Chippewa/Anishinabe.

Thanks. I learn something every day. LOL. I didn't know any of that.
When the French trappers first encountered the Ojibwe/Chippewa/Anishinabe, it was around Sault St. Marie. They got pushed west, eventually, to North Dakota/Manitoba, but their culture was based on the Great Lakes. They depended on wild rice, fish and water birds.
Not much of that on the Great Plains.
I wonder if they can explain what happened to all the copper that went missing in that area in ancient times. (Hmmm. I wonder if that may be where they got the haplotype X?)
"Archaeological evidence from around the Lake Superior basin confirms that these ancient miners were the ancestors of the region's Native American people. It is likely that they spoke variants of northern Algonquian languages, so in general, archaeologists refer to them as ancestors of northern Algonquian peoples. The Ojibwa (or Chippewa) of today can trace their roots to these ancient tribes. They, along with the Ottawa tribes and others, were the first inhabitants of the region and have been residents of the Upper Great Lakes for centuries. These groups are collectively referred to as the First Nations (Martin 2001)."
Looks like the Bering Strait theory is losing traction.More accurately, Clovis-First-and-Only has lost traction, mainly because it's dead as an ancient arrowhead.
Well, that too.
