Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation buys Illinois land

printer friendly

The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation in Kansas is holding a press conference in Shabbona, Illinois, to discuss a recent land purchase.

The tribe has a historic reservation in Illinois. Although it hasn't been litigated, a former Interior Department legal official said the claim was credible.

The tribe paid nearly $9 million for 128 acres within the historic reservation. It is not known if the tribe has submitted a land-into-trust application.
