Pottawattomie Indians,
An Algonquian family which occupied the lower peninsula of Michigan, and spoke one of the rudest dialects of that nation.
At the beginning of the seventeenth century they were in scattered and apparently independent bands, without the faintest sign of any civil government.
Hunters and fishers, and cultivators of a little maize, they were wanderers, and were frequently engaged in wars with neighboring tribes.
