Profsaffel ....there is no mention of the Ottawa (Odawa) Bows in the Encyclopedia of Native American Bows,Arrows and Quivers by Allely and Hamm....but then the Odawa were not a big Tribe to begin with...probably less than 8,000 in 1600 before contact
Canada currently has more than 4,000 Ottawa.... mostly with the Ontario First Nations on Cockburn.... Manitoulin.... and Walpole Islands..... There are another 10,000 Ottawa in the United States..... Although the Ottawa have signed 24 treaties with the United States, most groups have not had federal recognition since the 1860s...... Only two Ottawa groups presently have this status..... Ottawa Tribe of Oklahoma with 400 members; and the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians of Michigan...... The 9,000 members of the Northern Michigan Ottawa Association are one of the largest groups of Native Americans in the United States without federal recognition.
