PRAIRIE BAND POTAWATOMI WORKSHOP

$50 per participant • Box Lunch Included


Workshop limited to museum professionals and teachers only

Learn about local Potawatomi history with Tribal

members of Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation as they

provide Indigenous context in Illinois history and

share information about present-day people. This

is an opportunity for educators in museums and

classrooms to become informed about topics of

Indian Removal, the Indian Citizenship Act, and new

Illinois legislation centered around Native American

history. Illinois HB 1633: Provides that, beginning with

the 2024-2025 school year, every public elementary

school and high school shall include in its curriculum

a unit of instruction studying the events of the

Native American experience and Native American

history within the Midwest and the State since time

immemorial.


CPU credits will be offered for teachers.

All participants are required to submit a

pre-evaluation survey prior to the workshop.
