Traditional Ottawa stories fall into two general categories, aasookaan 'legend, sacred story' (plural aasookaanag) and dbaajmowin 'narrative, story' (plural dbaajmownan). Stories in the aasookaan category involve mythical characters such as Nenbozh. Stories in the dbaajmowin category include traditional stories that do not necessarily involve mythical characters, with the same term also used more generally to refer to any type of story not in the aasookaan category. Published Ottawa text material includes a range of genres, including historical narratives, stories of conflict with other indigenous groups, humorous stories, and others.
