The Potawatomi (also spelled Pottawatomie and Pottawatomi, among many variations) are a Native American people of the upper Mississippi River region. They traditionally speak the Potawatomi language, a member of the Algonquian family. In the Potawatomi language, they generally call themselves Bodéwadmi, a name that means "keepers of the fire" and that was applied to them by their Anishinaabe (Ojibwe) cousins. They originally called themselves Neshnabé, a cognate of the word Anishinaabe. The Potawatomi were part of a long-term alliance, called the Council of Three Fires, with the Ojibwe and Ottawa. In the Council of Three Fires, the Potawatomi were considered the "youngest brother."

This video was taken in a dark barn, so there is nothing to see, but you'll hear a voice say "see anything?" then you'll hear what sounds like an older woman say something like "esaka mun". We have been told that this translates to "we dwell here" in Potawatomi. This was recorded in a barn in Crown Point, Indiana.
