The Ottawa or Odawa (meaning "traders") were close allies of the Chippewa/Ojibwa and Potawatomi. The Ottawa were originally located in the area that is now north-eastern Michigan and islands in Lake Huron; by 1650 they were forced westwards by Iroquois raids, some settling at Green Bay, Manitoulin Island and even as far as Ohio and Beaver Creek Pennsylvania. As enemies of the Iroquois the Ottawa were often allied with the Huron.
