Literacy Works respectfully acknowledges the indigenous people that have historical relationships with the land of present day Illinois. Prior to their forced removal, Illinois was the traditional territory of the Chickasaw, Ho-Chunk, Kaskaskia, Kaw,  Kickapoo, Mascouten, Menominee Miami, Odawa, Ojibwe, Peoria, Piankashaw, Potawatomi, Sauk and Fox, Shawnee, Sioux, Wea, and others. We honor indigenous past and present contributions to Illinois. Understanding and addressing this country’s history of settler colonialism is essential to understanding the place we live in and our relationship to it.
