Sorry Emily,
these categories not always fit exactly.
Here is the list of Pembina Ojibwa you mentioned:
NAMES OF THE OJIBWAYS IN THE PEMBINA BAND,
NORTH DAKOTA.
J. A. GILFILLAN.
The Band of Ojibways, called the Pembina Band, is the most
westerly of the Nation of the Ojibways. Their habitat was the
northeast corner of North Dakota, along the Red river of the north,
the Pembina river and also the Turtle Mountain country, North
Dakota. They call themselves, and are called by the other Ojib-
ways. An-i-bi-min-an-i-zi-bi-win-i-ni-wug, meaning "The-High-bush-
cramberry-river-men" from the river of the same name, An-i-bi-min-
an-i-zibi, The-High-bush-cranberry-river, the Pembina river. About
A. D. 1874, or shortly before it. part of this band was removed to
the White Earth reservation, Minnesota, and settled on a township
of land taken for them from the northwestern part of the reservation,
on the Wild Rice river and hence called. The Township of the
Pembinas. They, alone of the Ojibways, are prairie Indians, and in
consequence differ somewhat in their habits from the other Ojib-
ways. They formerly, like all the plains Indians, were great buffalo
hunters, much more so than the other Ojibways. They also used the
horse much more than the other Ojibways, who had no horses orig-
inally, but got a few from the Sioux of late years, and used them
to a very limited extent. They also differed somewhat in speech,
having a peculiar accent, which as soon as they opened their mouths
proclaimed them Pembinas. Their speech was not nearly so
agreeable to the ear, as that of the other Ojibways, who used con-
stantly to laugh at them, and when they wanted to make fun, mimic
them. From their intercourse on the great plains with the Crees,
they had also introduced a number of Cree words. Still their speech
was perfectly intelligible to the other Ojibways, though it sounded
ridiculous. Before starting on winter journeys they were accustom-
ed to put out the fire in their wigwams and log houses for some days
previously and sit in extreme cold in order to season themselves. In
truthfulness, honesty, straightforwardness, reliability, goodness,
kindness they were, I think, inferior to all other Ojibways. The
following are some of the names, with their meanings, of that part
of the band located on White Earth reservation who were living
there in 1878. There were several hundred, but I have not given
names derived from the French, of which there were many, as not
being interesting nor have I given duplicate names, many persons,
as with us having namesakes. In reading the Ojibway names be-
low "a" is pronounced as in "father," "e" as in "thev," "i" as in
"machine,'' "o" as in "alone." Other letters are pronounced as in
Eno:lish.
