On Sept. 21, 1994, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians (LTBB) was federally reaffirmed with the signing of Public Law 103-324. The Tribe is governed by a nine member Tribal Council who serve staggered terms. The Tribe has over 4,000 members with a large number living within Charlevoix and Emmet Counties. The Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians presently employs over 100 full and part-time employees. The historically delineated reservation area, located in the north-western part of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula, encompasses approximately 336 square miles of land within the two counties. The largest communities within the reservation boundaries are Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Charlevoix.
LTBB Mission Statement
Being Odawa is all about freedom. The Freedom to be a part of a people who, with integrity and pride, still have and speak our own language. The freedom to share in common with all other Odawak the customs, culture, and spirituality of our ancestors. The freedom we have today we will bring to the future through unity, education, justice, communication, and planning. We will reach out to the next seven generations by holding to cultural values of Wisdom, Love, Respect, Bravery, Honesty, Humility and Truth. We will utilize our Tribal assets to provide the necessary tools to become successful, hard-working community members who proudly represent our culture. With these values we will move the Tribe forward.

Aanii Kina Gwaya,
As we gather with our families for the holidays, your LTBB Odawa Health Clinic would like to encourage everyone to gather as safely as possible. Northern Michigan and our Tribe are still having positive COVID-19 cases and we are the midst of both, Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial virus seasons. Vaccinations are our number one tool to help fight against COVID-19 and Influenza viruses, to protect ourselves, our families, and our Odawa Tribe. This is followed by layered prevention, which can help with preventing infection of any of these viruses. It is encouraged that we practice the Nswi Ws: Wear a mask, even indoors with family gathering, Wash hands before and after eating, and Watch our distance. If anyone is sick or exposed, please stay home to rest and heal, and see if a family member can bring you a plate of food. Consider Zoom/Facetime as a means to meet in a safe way.
G’chimiigwetchiwinim kina gwaya for your help with this. Maamwi gda’mashkozimi, lets gather for strength. Nengajigwa, take care!
Dr Animikwam
