Współcześni Indianie Ojibway Impresje z wyjazdu do Kanady / The present-day Ojibway: Impressions from a trip to Canada

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to share our impressions and experiences from the anthropo- logical research focusing on the Ontario Ojibwa First Nation, which was our first expedi- tion outside of Europe . We focused on the identity of this indigenous people, their culture preservation practices and processes of assimilation and Americanization taking place among the indigenous groups . Even though it is natural that changes occur, the question is: are those changes within the culture or against the culture? As it was merely our first approach to the field and the topic, the answers to those questions will be explored in detail during our next expeditions to the field .
