#Potawatomi
Came across this and thought it was awesome news for Native American's in a not so awesome time. I am Potawatomi myself, not this band though.
This returns the lands promised to the The Prairie Land Potawatomi Nation but stolen by the federal government 155 years ago in Illinois.

"#Illinois returns stolen land to Prairie Band #Potawatomi Nation
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- The Prairie Land Potawatomi Nation has reclaimed land in Illinois that was promised to the tribe's leader 175 years ago but stolen by the federal government 20 years later.
A law signed by Gov. JB #Pritzker last week transferred Shabbona Lake State Recreation Area, 1,500 acres (607 hectares) in north-central Illinois."
Illinois returns stolen land to Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation
> Nothing ever altered that treaty, but when Shab-eh-nay and his people left for several years to visit family in Kansas, the government sold the land to white settlers.

A collection of flyers and schedules detailing the agendas for Hannahville Potawatomi Pow Wow Bus Trips.
The bus trip was an annual tradition organized by the Mishicot Historical Museum to the “land of Chief Mishicot” during the Great Lakes Area Traditional Pow Wow at the Woodland Gathering Grounds.

These are undated photos of Chief Abraham Meshigaud, the grandson of old Chief Mishicott.
Chief Abraham Meshigaud was born in 1821 at Mink River in Door County and died in 1916 at Hannahville Indian Mission, Harris, Upper Michigan. The family name Mishicott is often spelled “Meshigaud” today.
This story of the old chief was compiled by Jim Sustman:
The Village and Township of Mishicot as well as the East Twin River were all originally named after the “old’ Chief Mishicott, aka Naya tu Shingh, who was born in 1748 at the mouth of the Manitowoc River. He was the main chief of the entire area.
Being a Potawatomie, his tribe occupied the entire Lake Michigan west shore from the tip of Door County down to the Milwaukee River.
In 1840, Chief Mishicott and his grandson, who he helped raise and who was also named Mishicott, went to Canada in search of land to relocate the tribe to avoid going to Kansas where there were no sugar maples, forests and rivers. Not finding any, they sought the help of Andrew Vieau to purchase some of the Black Earth Village in the town of Carlton.
In 1847, Daniel Smith, the founder of the village, named the village after his Indian friend prior to the chief’s passing. In 1848, the old chief died and was buried at Mink River in Door County.
The tribe continued at Black Earth Village till 1862 when they were driven off their land for not paying taxes. Years later the tribe that survived settled in Harris, Michigan and today are called the Hannahville Potawatomie Indian Community.

Mind you the logo of the Forest County #Potawatomi Community is also listed, and given that they bought up a local mine to prevent the environmental harm its reopening would cause (https://grist.org/politics/wiltenburg2/) I doubt they're particularly keen on much of the Republican agenda so maybe it is a nonpartisan list
Illinois is now home to a federally recognized tribal nation for the first time.

The Land Back Movement Takes Root in Ohio - Native American group seeks Land Back through out-of-state methods
https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/land-back-movement-takes-root-ohio
'Ohio was once the homeland of many tribes who were systematically removed from the area. These include the Shawnee, Potawatomi, Delaware, Miami, Peoria, Seneca, Wyandot, Ottawa, and Kaskaskia. After centuries of displacement and genocide, Native people make up just 0.3 percent of the Ohio population.'
...
'Bereft of a tangible access point for community and culture for Native people in Ohio, “urban Indian centers” popped up in the state in the 1960s and ’70s. The last of those that remains today is the Native American Indian Center of Central Ohio (NAICCO), which serves a statewide intertribal Indigenous community.'
@joe #Potawatomi has become our favorite Wisconsin state park for camping in our pop-up. Great sites and a laid back vibe.
7. Potawatomi State Park
Potawatomi is 1200 acres along the shore of Sturgeon Bay. It has some nice hiking trails (including the eastern terminus of the Ice Age Trail) and some nice views from the top of the limestone cliffs.
Powerful event (Center & Library for the Bible & Social Justice) on #FirstNations Version of the #NewTestament.
Terry Wildman (#Ojibwe & #Yaqui), Chris Hoklotubbe (#Choctaw), Casey Church (Pokagon Band of #Potawatomi) explained #translation process & hopes for tribe-specific translations to come.
