Contemporary times have seen the re-affirmation of off-reservation treaty rights for hunting, fishing, and gathering. The thrust of contemporary Ojibwe tribal governments has been positive natural resource management and a return to the understanding that "we are all related" on this earth.

For the Ojibwe, learning is a lifelong activity of careful observation and respectful listening. What must be fostered is not merely skill, but understanding, not merely knowledge, but wisdom. There is a duty on the part of elders to impart their wisdom and a concomitant obligation on the part of the youth to learn. This cyclical nature of education insured the survival of the Ojibwe people from generation to generation.
