It is difficult to generalise about native American appearance, since there is such a wide range of features even among a single tribe. The Ojibwe/Ojibwa/Chippewa/Anishinaabe people historically were of medium height and slim build. Their skin colour was fairly dark and they had sharp features, some with narrow chins and others with strong, wide jaws.

Hair was worn very long and loose or braided, but often wrapped in a kind of turban. In the 18th century men often had pierced nasal septum and wore silver or bone ornaments in nose and ears. Buckskin shirts or long moosehide coats were frequently worn.

By the 19th century clothing for men and women was almost entirely made from trade cloth and blanket material, with only moccasins being made in the traditional way. Hudson Bay blankets were worn as winter robes or tailored into "blanket coats" with hoods.

What was the ojibwa impact on the land?

Aboriginally, the Ojibwa occupied an extensive area north of Lakes Superior and Huron. A geographical Expansion beginning in the seventeenth century resulted in a four-part division of the Ojibwa. The four main groups are the Northern Ojibwa, or Saulteaux; the Plains Ojibwa, or Bungee; the Southeastern Ojibwa; and the Southwestern Chippewa. At the end of the eighteenth century the Northern Ojibwa were located on the Canadian Shield north of Lake Superior and south and west of Hudson and James bays; the Plains Ojibwa, in southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba; the Southeastern Ojibwa, on the lower peninsula of Michigan and adjacent areas of Ontario; and the Southwestern Chippewa, in northern Minnesota, extreme northern Wisconsin, and Ontario between Lake Superior and the Manitoba border. The Canadian Shield country is a flat land of meager soil and many lakes and swamps. The country of the Plains Ojibwa is an environment of rolling hills and forests dominated by oak, ash, and whitewood. The homeland of the Southeastern Ojibwa and the Southwestern Chippewa, also a country of rolling hills, includes marshy valleys, upland prairie, rivers and lakes, and forests of maple, birch, poplar, oak, and other deciduous species. Throughout the region, winters are long and cold and summers short and hot. Source: http://www.everyculture.com/North-America/Ojibwa-Orientation.html
