The Three Fires Society consists of the Ojibway, the Ottawa and the Potawatomi tribes. The Ojibway are given the honor or keeping the â??Original Teachingsâ?? alive and passing these teachings down through upcoming generations. The Ottawas are responsible for the â??Provisions and Securityâ?? of all the tribes attending gatherings. Making sure that everyone has enough to eat and ensuring the attendees that their meeting place is secure from invasion and disruption is their major responsibility.
