From Kevin Roberts:

Day of connection for those interested in attending.
They have an extensive collection of Potawatomi items, collectibles / artifacts & research info. I am friends with the curator. We did this in 2023 as part of Trail of Death Caravan and folks found it very interesting / rewarding. Thought it would be a great opportunity for those of us in area to establish & maintain connectivity .
