Ojibwe society has been split. This needs to be reflected in Parlametrics metadata. #4

Society 13718 has Parlametrics data associated with it, but the Parlametrics metadata does not specify a dialect of Ojibwe. It just lists the language as Ojibwe. So, now that the formerly lumped Ojibwe society has been split into Eastern Ojibwa and Minnesota Ojibwa, I'm not sure which society to match the Parlametrics recordings with. In the past, a new "XX Unspecified" society has been created to address this issue, but this is probably best to avoid and even undo in the cases where this was already done, if possible.

Will look more into the Parlametrics data and see if I can find any information that points to one of the split Ojibwa societies. If not possible, Anna suggests the following: "Assign these cases to one of the possible choices, with a note in the metadata explaining that this case needs further research."
