Ojibwa (Western) Rosary Prayers

This language is also known as Chippewa, Saulteaux, Southern Ojibway, and Mississippi Ojibwa. These prayers were taken from Bishop Frederick Baraga's Catechism written in the middle 1800's.

The Ojibwa language, somewhat changed from this text over the past century, is now spoken by 10,000 people in the area westward from Lake Winnipeg into Saskatchewan, Canada. It is also spoken in North Dakota and Montana in the United States of America. Black large lettering - original spelling in Ojibwa or Ottawa Smaller black bold lettering - Ojibway or Ottawa word in Fiero spelling Small black italic lettering - English

(Prayers that are not known in this language are shown in English until we have the complete prayer, at which time it will be shown in both languages.)
