Plural form of Chippewa; multiple members of the Chippewa people or languages spoken by them.
Standard English plural formation (Chippewa + -s); note that modern preferred usage typically uses 'Ojibwe' (plural 'Ojibwes' or simply 'Ojibwe') rather than 'Chippewa.'
Language communities are increasingly reclaiming their original names—the shift from 'Chippewa' to 'Ojibwe' reflects indigenous peoples' agency in how they're represented, which is why respecting current preferred terminology matters in modern discussion.
