This article addresses the findings of interviews, observations and research about life in the Ottawa Tribe, how they see themselves and others in society and the tribe. I focused primarily on The Little River Band Indian Tribe of Ottawa. I studied their languages, pecking order and interviewed to find out the rituals and traditions they believe in. In this essay I have revealed how they see themselves in society. How they see other people, how they see each other, what their values were, what a typical day was like, etc. I initially suspected that I would receive different answers from these questions but in reality the results in the questions were almost completely the same. I studied this topic because most of the people close to me belong to the Ottawa tribe. I also love Native American culture, I think it's beautiful and has a free concept. The Ottawa Native American tribe and the tribe's culture are extremely fascinating and beautiful. The Ottawa Tribe has a great history behind it. According to tolatsga.org, the Ottawa tribe first arrived on the eastern shore of Lake Huron in 1400. The name "Ottawa" is originally spelled "Odawa" in their native language. The language they speak is primarily English, but their native language is Ojibwa, which is related to the Anishinaabe language. The tribe's original homeland, according to bigorrin.org, is primarily located in southern Ontario in Canada, where the name "Ottawa" or "Odawa" comes from, and Michigan. There are more tribes than Ottawa, but there is one here in Manistee, Michigan, they are the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians. According to tolatsga.org, there are 2,750 Ottawa-Ojibwe members in Michigan, that's two-thirds... half of paper... higan, they are the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians. The Little River Band is full and rich in culture. Some people don't recognize the Ottawa Tribe here in Manistee Michigan, or even know who they are or how they feel. I feel like the Ottawa Tribe has a huge positive impact on Michigan history. Therefore, I wrote this essay to discuss and reveal the culture and daily life of the Ottawa Tribe with observations, interviews and research. Works Cited: McClurken, J.M. (2009).
