This article appears in Volume V22, Page 204 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POTAWATOMI (properly Potewalmik, fire-makers, in allusion to their secession from the Ojibway, and their establishment of a separate council-fire) , a tribe of
North
 -American Indians of Algonquian stock. When first known (about 1670), they lived around Green Bay,
Wisconsin
 . They subsequently moved
south
  and?eventually settled in
lower
  Michigan. They were allied with the
French
  in their wars against the Iroquois and took
part
  in the conspiracy of Pontiac (q.v.). In the War of Independence they fought for
England
 , as also in that of 1812. In 1846 most of them were removed to a
reservation
  in Kansas. Of these the
majority
  have abandoned their tribal relations and become citizens. Others are in
Wisconsin
  and the bulk in Oklahoma. They now number some 2500.
