These stolen lands on which we reside were originally seeded and stewarded by the Native Nations of the Council of the Three Fires - the Ojibwe, Ottawa and Potawatomi.
American Indian people from tribes including the Ojibwe, Ho-Chunk, Potawatomi, Ottawa, Sauk, Fox, and Kickapoo have lived in Illinois and the Chicago urban area for over 10,000 years. Today, tribal members from over 150 different tribes reside in urban and rural areas of Illinois, including the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, Lakota, Dakota, Navajo, Zuni, Menominee, Oneida and Choctaw, Cherokee and many others.
