Historical Relations Between The Anishinaabeg and Other Indigenous Groups

Historically, the Anishinaabe peoples maintained close alliances with Cree groups, including the Atikamekw, Montagnais, Moose Cree, Swampy Cree and Plains Cree. Others close allies included the Noos (Abenaki), Miijimaag, Nii'inaa-naadawe (Wendat), Omanoominiig, Wiinibiigoog and Zhaawanoog. Other closely related Algonquin groups such as the Zhiishiigwan and Amikwaa were incorporated into the Anishinaabe peoplehood through alliances.

Due to competing interests, from time to time the Anishinaabeg had strained relations with the various Iroquois nations, Sauk, Fox and Dakota peoples.
