[…] We also use data from additional tables published in that same 1937 census volume to identify all counties in the U.S. that had ten or more Odawas, ten or more Chippewas, and/or ten or more Potawatomis recorded in the 1930 census—and for each of these counties we identify the number of Odawa, Chippewa, and Potawatomi people recorded in the county. In this way we document the states and counties of residence of the Anishinaabe population.
