Sign the petition to help us pass legislation that rights historical wrongs to Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation.

In the 1830s, the U.S. government illegally auctioned off more than 1,280 acres of Chief Shab-eh-nay’s land near the village of Shabbona in southern DeKalb County. Now, the U.S. Senate, the only governing body that has the authority to designate land titles for native nations, is considering legislation that would give Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation land to call home.

The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Shab-eh-nay Band Reservation Settlement Act, introduced by U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kansas) in 2021, would allow Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation to acquire 1,151 acres of land near Shabbona State Park in the southern part of DeKalb County, without disrupting the homeowners who currently own property on the existing Reservation. 

Sign your name to tell the U.S. Senate to give Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation back land that was illegally taken from them by the U.S. government.
