The Hannahville Indian Community is a federally recognized Potawatomi tribe residing in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, approximately 15 miles (24 km) west of Escanaba on a 8.5755-square-mile (22.210 km2) reservation.

[3] For a period, they moved away from Michigan, living with the Menominee in northern Wisconsin and the Ojibwe and Ottawa peoples in Canada.

Some church records report that, as the Potawatomi were very fond of Marksman's wife, Hannah, they named their community after her.

Under the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, the tribe wrote a constitution and organized an elected form of government.

On December 23, 1966, at 3 p.m. EST, a few local county officials and community members watched as "hotlines" were activated at Hannahville for the first time, the cable installation completed on the same day.

[5] The Marquette Catholic Diocese donated the $6,000 abandonment deposit required by the Alger-Delta Cooperative Electric Association.

[citation needed] According to the United States Census Bureau, the Hannahville Indian Community in 2020 had an area of 5.57 square miles (3,560 acres; 14.4 km2), all of it land.

Since the late 20th century, the Tribe has been committed to developing environmental protection programs to ensure a healthy and safe environment for current and future generations.
