The Anishinaabe people of the Great Lakes include the Odawas (also known as the Ottawas), the Chippewas (also known as the Ojibwes), and the Potawatomis (also known as the Bodéwadmis)—three interrelated groups that are sometimes collectively referred to as the Three Fires Confederacy. We also use data from additional tables published in that same 1937 census volume to identify all counties in the U.S. that had ten or more Odawas, ten or more Chippewas, and/or ten or more Potawatomis recorded in the 1930 census—and for each of these counties we identify the number of Odawa, Chippewa, and Potawatomi people recorded in the county. In this way we document the states and counties of residence of the Anishinaabe population. https://web.archive.org/web/20261008101353/https://ssai.isr.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Anishinaabe-Residence-and-County-Areas-220629.pdf 8 October 2026 Translations member of the Potawatomi people Catalan: ca potawatomi Fox: sac Pehkînenîha, sac Shîshîpêhinenîha French: fr Potéouatami m, fr Potéouatamis p Italian: it potawatomi Korean: ko 포타와토미 Menominee: mez pōtawa͞etemīw Ojibwe: oj boodawaadamii, oj boodawaadamiig p, oj anishinaabe, oj anishinaabeg p Ottawa: otw Boodewaadmii, otw Boodewaadmiig p, otw Nishnaabe, otw Nishnaabeg Polish: pl Potawatomi m, pl Potawatomi f Potawatomi: pot Bodéwadmi, pot Bodéwadmik p, pot Bodwéwadmi, pot Bodwéwadmik p pot Neshnabé, pot Neshnabék p Spanish: es potawatomi Unami: unm Puteòtàm Proper noun The Algonquian language spoken by the Potawatomi people.
