The Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi: Survival & Revival Through Storytelling November 20, 2026
Join John Low, PhD, a member of the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi, for a lunchtime conversation that shares the story of the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi and their influences on northern Illinois. From ancient times to the present to the future, the Pokagon Potowatami people have always relied on the power of storytelling to sustain themselves and community.
After the talk, and throughout Native American Heritage Month, visitors are also invited to experience Indigenous stories of home at the National Public Housing Museum, including the History Lesson exhibition of objects and stories from Osage Nation, the installation Our Stories, Like Roots in Soil by Lydia Cheshewalla (Osage), and a outdoor mural by Andrea Carlson (Ojibwe).
