“The Anishinaabe people are American Indians who have historically been associated with the Great Lakes region of what is now called Canada and the United States. 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.”
