Research Help

I've chosen an idea for my next novel. So exciting!

I need some help with research. The Internet can only tell me so much. Some of my characters will be members of the Chippewa tribe. I need to create some new mythology, and I want to make sure I keep it in line with the actual belief system. I also need to make sure I'm not messing up the language when I've combined a couple of words. So, if you know of anyone of Chippewa heritage who might be willing to answer a couple of questions, please send them my way! Thanks :)
