HMCS Ojibwa is named after one of Canada's largest groups of indigenous peoples. At the height of their power, their territory stretched from the shores of Lake Huron to the edge of the Prairies.

Also known as the Chippawa, the name refers to 'people whose moccasins have puckered seams'. Those moccasins helped them to be silent hunters and warriors. HMCS Ojibwa is proud to bear the name; however, be assured that there are no puckered seams aboard this sleek lined beauty.
