Ojibwe name takes its origin from the Indian Nation OJIBWE from Canada that established itself along the great Canadian lakes of Ontario, in Western Canada and north central area of United States. The Ojibwe model has the most interesting and unique shape of all the wooden traditional snowshoes. This model has similarities with ancient snowshoes used by old civilizations from Siberia, Groenland and Scandinavia many centuries ago.

Its unique shape provides a great flotation in open forests and fields where there is a lot of snow. Its narrow and lifted nose, combined with its long narrow tail, is providing great gliding properties in downhill on hard snow. Might it be the ancestor of the modern alpine ski?
