A win for Indigenous sovereignty! ✊🏼💥 More than 175 years after their land was unjustly taken, the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation is reclaiming 1,500 acres. This week, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker (jbpritzker) signed a bill transferring Shabbona Lake State Park back to the tribe. Despite public auctions and legal battles, the tribe never stopped fighting for its return. Illinois leaders call this transfer a step toward justice and reconciliation, ensuring the land’s history is honored while keeping it open for public recreation. How does this news make you feel?! Should more states follow Illinois' lead?! 💭⤵️ (via wttwchicago) #Potawatomi #Landback #Illinois #DeKalbCounty
