Potawatomi
The Pottawatomi ,〔Clifton, James A. (1978). "Potawatomi." In ''Northeast'', ed. Bruce G. Trigger. Vol. 15 of ''Handbook of North American Indians'', ed. William C. Sturtevant. Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Institution, pg. 725〕 also spelled Pottawatomie and Potawatomi (among many variations), are a Native American people of the Great Plains, upper Mississippi River and Western Great Lakes region. They traditionally speak the Potawatomi language, a member of the Algonquian family. The Potawatomi called themselves ''Neshnabé'', a cognate of the word ''Anishinaabe''. The Potawatomi were part of a long-term alliance, called the Council of Three Fires, with the Ojibwe, Odawa (Ottawa). In the Council of Three Fires, the Potawatomi were considered the "youngest brother" and were referred to in this context as ''Bodéwadmi'', a name that means "keepers of the fire" and refers to the council fire of three peoples.
In the 19th century, they were pushed to the west by European/American encroachment in the late 18th century and removed from their lands in the Midwest to reservations in Oklahoma. Under Indian Removal, they eventually ceded many of their lands, and most of the Potawatomi relocated to Nebraska, Kansas and Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). Some bands survived in the Midwest and today are federally recognized as tribes. In Canada, some bands are recognized by the government as First Nations; they are based in Ontario.
==Name==
(詳細はOjibwe ''Boodewaadamii(g)'' (syncoped in the Ottawa as ''Boodewaadmii(g)''). The Potawatomi name for themselves (autonym) is ''Bodéwadmi'' (without syncope: ''Bodéwademi''; plural: ''Bodéwadmik''), a cognate of the Ojibwe form. Their name means "those who keep/tend the hearth-fire," which refers to the hearth of the Council of Three Fires. The word comes from "to keep/tend the hearth-fire," which is ''bodewadm'' (without syncope: ''bodewadem'') in the Potawatomi language; the Ojibwe and Ottawa forms are ''boodawaadam'' and ''boodwaadam'', respectively.
Alternatively, the Potawatomi call themselves ''Neshnabé'' (without syncope: ''Eneshenabé''; plural: ''Neshnabék''), a cognate of Ojibwe Anishinaabe(g), meaning "Original People".
