Potawatomi
1. The Great Lakes region was the central location of the Potawatomi Indians. In the 1600's the Potawatomi lived in the northern part of lower Michigan. Due to the Ontario tribes threatening them in 1641 they left there homelands and moved to the west side of Lake Michigan to northern Wisconsin. Then by 1665 all Potawatomi were living on Wisconsin's Door Peninsula just east of Green Bay. By 1716 most Potawatomi were located in a area between Milwaukee to Detroit. During the 1760s they expanded into northern Indiana and central Illinois.
2. The Potawatomi originally were hunters and gatherers because they were too far north for reliable agriculture. There diets come form wild game, fish, wild rice, acorns, and maple syrup, but Potawatomi were very adaptive. After they relocated to Wisconsin, they learned farming form neighboring tribes like the Fox and Winnebago. By time the French arrived in Green Bay, Potawatomi women were tending to large fields of corn, beans, and squash. By the 1660's the Potawatomi were agricultural some people think that them moving west on the shores of Lake Michigan was due to them having the desire to find richer soil. Women tended the fields, while the men kept their role as hunters and warriors. They lived in villages of framed, brush-covered houses in the summer, and separated into family hunting groups in the winter, when they used domed wigwams. In the late 18th century they acquired horses, and used them for buffalo hunting on the plains of Illinois and Indiana.
3. The Citizen Potawatomi Nation produced this website to inform people about the Midwest Patawatomi tribe. It was posted for people to use as research material like this blog. (http://www.tolatsga.org/pota.html) While the Native American Facts for Kids was developed so people children can learn interesting facts about Native Americans like the Potawatomi for school and reports (http://www.bigorrin.org/potawatomi_kids.htm). Native Languages of the Americas:Potawatomi (Nishnabek, Pottawatomie, Pottawatomi) (http://www.native-languages.org/potawatomi.htm) was developed to inform people about the history of the Potawatomi tribe.
4.The Potawatomi joined other northeast Indian peoples in resisting English settlement, participating in battles such as Pontiac's Rebellion (1763), fought under the Ottawa chief Pontiac. So I guess you could say they were the "typical" Native Americans. But, like ever other Native American they were only fighting for there land that the French and English took away form them so in my opinion they had every right to be hostile and be the stereotypical Native American.
