Ottawa Indians

The Ottawa Indians are a Native American group originally from the Great Lakes region, primarily around present-day Michigan and Ontario. They are part of the Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) peoples and have a rich history of hunting, fishing, and farming. Historically, they were active traders and allies, but faced displacement and changes due to European colonization. Today, Ottawa communities are located in Canada and the United States, where they maintain their cultural traditions, language, and connections to their ancestral lands. They are recognized as sovereign nations with a shared heritage and ongoing efforts to preserve their identity.
