"Odawaa" (syncoped as "Daawaa", is believed to be derived from the Anishinaabe word "adaawe", meaning "to trade," or "to buy and sell"); this term is common to the Cree, Algonquin, Nipissing, Montagnais, Odawa, and Ojibwe. The Potawatomi spelling of "Odawa" and the English derivative "Ottawa" are also common. The Anishinaabe word for "Those men who trade, or buy and sell" is "Wadaawewinini(wag)." Fr. Frederic Baraga, a Catholic missionary in Michigan, transliterated this and recorded it in his "A Dictionary of the Otchipwe Language" as ""Watawawininiwok,"" noting that it meant "men of the bulrushes", associated with the many bulrushes in the Ottawa River. But, this recorded meaning is more appropriately associated with the "Matàwackariniwak," a historical Algonquin band who lived along the Ottawa River. The only American tribe that is Odawa are the Little Traverse Bay Band of Odawa Indians, the rest are considered Ottawa.
