Odawa
The Odawa, also called the Ottawa, are an Anishinaabe people of the Great Lakes, closely related to the Ojibwe and Potawatomi. Living around Georgian Bay, Manitoulin Island and northern Michigan, they were important traders and allies of New France. Their leader Pontiac led a widespread war against British rule in 1763. Odawa communities live today in Ontario, Michigan and Oklahoma.
