	Potawatomis
		French fur traders were welcomed into the Potawatomi villages, where their union with Potawatomi women produced growing numbers of mixed-blood, or Métis, children.
		The Potawatomis at Chicago were much involved in the fur trade, first trading beaver pelts to the French, but also supplying traders with muskrat, raccoon, and otter pelts taken from the marshes along the Calumet and Kankakee Rivers.
		Potawatomi war parties en route to attack the Osages in Missouri sometimes committed depredations in southern Illinois, and messengers from Tecumseh and the Shawnee Prophet recruited Chicago Potawatomis into their growing pan-Indian movement.

	Potawatomii Culture - Indian Country Wisconsin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Although Potawatomi clans were patrilineal-that is, they traced their descent through the father’s line-individuals were also linked to some extent to the families of their mother’s father, which provided a wider network of kin to interact with and count on in times of stress.
		Traditionally, the Potawatomi probably did not have a chief of the entire tribe, but under some circumstances-such as intertribal warfare or overall agreements-these village leaders might select a single man from one of the villages to speak for them with a single voice.
		Both the Potawatomi and the Ottawa tribe served as middlemen between French traders and other tribes in the region, but quickly took on a new role as arbiters of disputes between other tribes, including the growing number of refugee tribes driven to Wisconsin by the depredations of the Iroquois.

	The Potawatomi in Historical Perspective
		The Potawatomi first enter recorded history early in the seventeenth century when tribes of more easterly location, such as the Ottawa, report their presence to the French in areas that appear to be the upper portion of the lower peninsula of Michigan.
		During the winter the Potawatomi are indicated as occupying the southern part of Green Bay and the Sauk the northern part, presumably to exploit the fish of the area.
		The movement of the Potawatomi to the Detroit area is indicative of another factor which was highly important in determining the area occupied and settled by the Indians.

		The Potawatomi still persistently refused to recognize their allotments of land or the right of the government to make such a disposition.
		The Potawatomi looked favorably on the termination of the allotment policies of the Dawes Act and the return of surplus lands to the Potawatomi because, by this time, the tribe had lost close to fifty thousand acres as a direct result of this law.
		A ruling body was never part of the Potawatomi story, and though changing times dictated this concept, it was never accepted nor were the leaders that became part of the new tribal body politic.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Potawatomi Indians
		According to tradition, which seems corroborated by linguistic evidence, the Potawatomi were originally one people with the Ojibwa and Ottawa, and derived their name, properly in plural form Potewatmik, "people of the fire place" or "fire-makers," from having moved off to the southward and kindled a new fire, i.
		The Potawatomi were a fighting race and in the Fox war and the French and Indian war sided actively with the French, continuing the struggle under Pontiac against the English until 1765.
		The linguistic material of Potawatomi is meager, consisting chiefly of a few printed or manuscript vocabularies, the latter with the Bureau of American Ethnology, together with one or two small publications by the Baptist mission board, at Shawnee Mission, Kansas (about 1837).

		Apparently, however, Potawatomi sympathies could not stand the strain of American reverses in the early part of the war and soon all of the bands were to be found on the British side until the closing phases of the fighting.
		Petchaho, chief of the Peoria band of the Potawatomi (Forsyth speaks of him as head chief of the Potawatomi in the Illinois river who had lately replaced Gomo, or Nasima, recently deceased), and a Kickapoo Indian married into a Potawatomi family of his band were entrusted with delivering the message.
