Just one week ago marked 177 years since the the 1838 Potawatomi Trail of Death, which forced the ancestors of today’s Citizen Potawatomi Nation from their homelands in the Great Lakes Region to a reservation in Kansas. CPN has several resources available to learn about the Trail of Death, including a daily journal kept by one of its participants, as well as the history of the Potawatomi Trail of Death Association at https://www.potawatomi.org/culture/trail-of-death
