Show Notes
The Shawnee Indian Mission in Kansas, once a boarding school for Native American children, is now a state-owned site with historic buildings. The Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation seeks to take ownership, aiming to revive culture, preserve language, and hold healing ceremonies. The tribes chairman, who attended such schools, advocates for tribal control as a step towards justice. The bill, Senate Bill 518, proposes the tribe buy the land by July 2028, with rules against casinos. Lawmakers debate costs, public access, and preserving the full history.
