Many of the Ottawa migrated south and west and settled in what became Michigan in the 1700s and by the early 1800s the Three Fires Confederacy (which include the Ottawa, [[Chippewa Indians|Chippewa]], and [[Potawatomi Indians|Potawatomi]]) occupied much of that area. In 1836, the Ottawa ceded nearly two-thirds of their land to the United States and in 1837, Michigan was created from that cession. | Many of the Ottawa migrated south and west and settled in what became Michigan in the 1700s and by the early 1800s the Three Fires Confederacy (which include the Ottawa, [[Chippewa Indians|Chippewa]], and [[Potawatomi Indians|Potawatomi]]) occupied much of that area.
