"...The big one here is Pontiac, which happens to be a town in Michigan–but in truth, the automaker was named after the tribe...."

BULLCRAP! Pontiac was the name of the chief of the Odawa tribe, not the name of the tribe.

The author’s bio says he has a degree in anthropology. I’m guessing not an honors student.
