- Summary

- Biographical or historical data
- The Potawatomi people are Native Americans of the Algonquian language family. They originally resided on lands around the Great Lakes region, including what is now Northern Indiana. On September 4, 1838, the Potawatomi were forcibly removed from Indiana and taken to reservation land in Kansas. This removal is known as the Potawatomi Trail of Death.The Potawatomi had many folktales and traditional stories passed down from one generation to the next. Nanabozho (Nanabush) is a legendary hero in stories and is often portrayed as a trickster, but is never disrespectful of Native American culture.
