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.
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.

In order to serve the LTBB community the best we can, we want to make sure that we are looking at waters and issues that are important to you. From January 9nd until February 13th, Environmental Services is hosting a survey for enrolled LTBB citizens to answer those questions and guide our efforts moving forward.
Find the survey at the link below. Prefer a paper version? Paper copies of the survey will be available at the Natural Resources Department and for mailing upon request. All responses will be completely anonymous. To make things more interesting, we will be giving away reusable bags, dinnerware, and Nibiish Naagdowen posters. Winners will be randomly selected.
Winners will be selected on February 14th and the prizes will be mailed within a month of the ending date.
All RFQ/RFP’s are due back by 3:00 PM March 1st.
During this time when Aki/ Mother Earth is resting we are told that those of the Spirit World are closer to us and sharing those teachings with us. During this time of deep sleep our dreams are manifested to provide a deeper understanding of who we are as Anishinaabe people and provide 
clarity of our purpose here. Please have a safe month and stay safe and well.
