From the early 1700s until 1832 this site was occupied by several thousand Kickapoo. This park is dedicated to those ancestors who lived and died here, a great Nation that once called this place home
As a people who honor their elders and ancestors and believe in preserving tribal ways the Kickapoo feel, the land in Illinois is something to treasure.
-Tribal Elder John Kaskaska
