Chief Shab-eh-nay

Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Chairman Joseph Rupnick, a direct descendant of Chief Shab-eh-nay, stands at the podium on Thursday, Aug. 11, 2022, to discuss a new bill in Congress that would help the tribe acquire more than 1,100 acres of land illegally auctioned off by the U.S. government in 1849. Just behind Rupnick is U.S. Rep. Jesús “Chuy” Garcia, D-Illinois, who filed the bill, and Illinois state Rep. Tom Demmer. (Photo by Amelia Schafer for ICT)
