Typically, this event provides a reunion for returning attendees and a warm welcome for first-timers. How could we emulate these feelings when not together in person? The communications team decided to emphasize the homey, welcoming atmosphere of PFI, along with the benefits of attending a conference from the coziness of home. Thus, “Coming Home” was born. During this conference, we hoped to help people feel at home with their PFI community. And with your Gathering virtually for our 2021 annual conference PFI members, staff, speakers and others made meaningful connections, expanded their networks and continued the spirit of learning that is a hallmark of our premier participation, the conference certainly annual gathering. did deliver.

  • 6/25/18 Dear Shabbona Forward Teams, in Recent Weeks, Many Of
    6/25/18 Dear Shabbona Forward Teams, In recent weeks, many of you have asked about the status of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nations bingo facility. Whether or not they’re moving forward with the project, and/or status of the project? This past Friday I was contacted by Thom Serafin, spokesman for the PBPN who many of you met at our meeting a couple of months ago. It appears that there is a window of opportunity in which they feel they could move this project forward with our support. They’ve been asked, again, by administrators in Washington D.C., to provide letters of support for the PBPN project and the positive impact it could have on economic development in our community. If you feel this project is beneficial to economic development and the local economy I would encourage you to write a letter of support as soon as possible. This is very time sensitive as Thom is being asked to deliver these letters of support to Washington by this coming Friday June 29th. I have attached a rendering of the bingo facility as well as a letter for anyone who has written a previous letter of support and wishes to re-affirm their support, also important. In addition, attached is a generic letter of support that could be put into a petition form or used as a stand-alone letter of support. Thom will be in Shabbona tomorrow afternoon in order to meet with residence and answer any questions or concerns you may have. If you would like to meet with him one-on-one to ask questions or discuss concerns please email me back so that I can put you in touch with him directly and you can schedule some time with him.

(Ph.D., History) The Emigrant Métis of Kansas: Rethinking the Pioneer Narrative Dissertation directed by Associate Professor Ralph Mann Under the U.S. government’s nineteenth century Indian removal policies, more than ten thousand Eastern Indians, mostly Algonquians from the Great Lakes region, relocated in the 1830s and 1840s beyond the western border of Missouri to what today is the state of Kansas. With them went a number of mixed-race people – the métis, who were born of the fur trade and the interracial unions that it spawned. This dissertation focuses on métis among one emigrant group, the Potawatomi, who removed to a reservation in Kansas that sat directly in the path of the great overland migration to Oregon and California.
