Illinois is now home to a federally recognized tribal nation for the first time after a decision from the U.S. Department of Interior placed portions of Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation's northern Illinois reservation land into trust, officials said.
According to a press release, the legal title of the land is transferred to the U.S., which holds it in trust for the Prairie Band. This move confirms the land as"Indian country," ensuring the Nation can exercise sovereignty over the land.
