OUR HERITAGE
Our name inspires how we serve our Indigenous, federal, municipal, transportation, and community clients
The Bodewéwadmik people, or Potawatomi, have long been identified as the keepers of the fire. Our name, Bodwé, comes from their rich history and language, and from our ties to the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, whose Tribal land is found in southwest Michigan. Bodwé means to light a fire for someone; or in other words, to meaningfully serve another. As a family of companies offering professional services in partnership with many diverse clients, the name Bodwé suits us perfectly. You will find Indigenous tradition woven into our brands and identities and, more importantly, our values and ways of working.
Success and growth driven by the Bodwé vision
As wholly owned companies of the Pokagon Band, the mission and values we hold, and the name we have chosen, lead us to brave and meaningful service for Indigenous, civic, veteran, student, patient, and wildlife communities.
