Ancient hunting grounds of the Algonquin and Nipissing Indians comprising the watersheds of the Ottawa and Madawaska Rivers : (background papers) / A.E. St. Louis.: R32-474/1951E-PDF
"Ottawa (from adawe, 'to trade; to buy and sell') was aterm common to the Cree, Algonquin, Nipissing, Montagmais, Ottawa and Chippewa tribes. In the Jesuit Relation for 1667, Father Allouez states that the Ottawa (Outaouaes) claimed that the great river (Ottawa) belonged to them and that no other nation might navigate it without their consent. It was, for this reason, he continues, that, although very different in nationality, all those who went to the French to trade, bore the name Ottawa, under whose auspices the journey was undertaken"--p. [1].
