Lifelong Learning Institute at Waubonsee Community College

For the first time in 175 years the Bureau of Indian Affairs has recognized a Native American reservation in the state of Illinois. As our new neighbors we will learn about the history of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation and why the Shabbona area in DeKalb County is where the new reservation is located. We will also learn about the 21st Century Potawatomi and their plans for the future here in our area.
