Today we’re celebrating the local Midwest Indigenous Peoples and Native American Culture with a great list of historic sites that you simply must visit!  Several states celebrate Native American Day at the end of September and early October as a way to honor and celebrate the rich culture and history of the first inhabitants of our nation.  While it’s not a federal holiday, it is an important commemoration to connect us with this complex part of US history.  Each of these sites holds a special place in preserving history and promoting the healing and connection between indigenous and settler peoples.  Here in Illinois, we are on ancestral land belonging to the Peoria, Kaskaskia, Piankashaw, Wea, Miami, Mascoutin, Odawa, Sauk, Mesquaki, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, and Chickasaw Nations.  We hope that you’ll add these important museums and cultural historic sites to your next road trip to learn more about their history.
