US map in Ojibwe

I want to make a map of the US states and label it in Ojibwe what’s a good free software for this one? 2600:1700:9758:7D90:3D83:E077:46FD:45AB (talk) 10:00, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This image seems to imply that US states and other English place names would mostly be imported in Ojibwe verbatim. [1] 惑乱 Wakuran (talk) 13:24, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want to use Canadian Aboriginal syllabics (as in ᑭᐦᒋᒨᐦᑯᒫᓂᒧᑭᐊ), which are available in Unicode, or a Romanized Ojibwe system? Using any of the blank SVG maps of the United States found on Wikimedia Commons, you can edit in the names. If you use for example this one, you can replace the English names with the names in Ojibwe with any text editor. Or you can use Inkscape for the editing. --Lambiam 14:06, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Wiktionary doesn't list enough proper nouns of Ojibwe language to constitute 50 U.S. states for one. If you cannot find relevant information online, you may consider contacting the Waadookodaading Ojibwe Language Immersion School by telephone or travelling to the Red Lake Indian Reservation where the Ojibwe language is spoken as a native language.
