What’s That Building: Shabbona Lake State Park
from In the Loop with Sasha-Ann Simons
With a momentous decision to return more than 1,500 acres of land 71 miles west of Chicago to the Pottawatomi, Illinois is righting a wrong committed more than 17 decades ago. When Gov. JB Pritzker in late March signed legislation that will give Shabbona Lake State Park to the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, this wasn’t just acknowledging Native people once lived on the land. Reset explores what this means and why with Dennis Rodkin, residential real estate reporter for Crain’s Chicago Business. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.
