Potawatomi
The Potawatomi are an Anishinaabe people of the western Great Lakes, closely related to the Odawa and Ojibwe, who in the 18th century lived around the southern shores of Lake Michigan. Allies of the French, they later joined the Western Confederacy and Tecumseh's Confederacy against American expansion. Under the removal policy of the 1830s most were forced west to Kansas and Oklahoma, while some remained in Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario.
