There are three words for 'white person' in the Ojibwe People's Dictionary.
waabishkiiwed comes from the verb waabishkiiwe meaning 'to have a pale complexion' - this word is primarily used in Northern regions (Red Lake Reservation and the Canadian Border Lakes areas)
wayaabishkiiwed also comes from the verb waabishkiiwe, and is primarily used in south of Red Lake. It means the same thing; just pronounced slightly differently.
gichi-mookomaan (or chi-mookomaan for short) is an older word used through the entire dialect, and references the long calvary knives that soldiers once carried.
A speaker from White Earth would find all three words understandable, and would likely use one of the last two, depending on personal preference.
