Keepers of the Fire

The Potawatomi are a Native American people of the upper Mississippi River and Western Great Lakes region. In the Potawatomi language, they generally call themselves Bodéwadmi, a name that means "keepers of the fire" and refers to the council fire of three peoples. The Ojibwe referred to them by this name. The Potawatomi called themselves Neshnabé, a cognate of the word Anishinaabe. The Potawatomi were part of a long-term alliance, called the Council of Three Fires, with the Ojibwe (Chippewa) and Odaawaa/Odawa (Ottawa). In the Council of Three Fires, the Potawatomi were considered the "youngest brother."
