Join us at our events to honor the Potawatomi Trail of Death. Through educational programs, guided tours, and commemorative gatherings, we aim to deepen understanding and keep this vital history alive. Stay connected for upcoming opportunities to engage and reflect.
We host commemorative caravans that retrace the historic route taken by the Potawatomi people during their forced removal in 1838. These caravans are organized every five years, bringing together descendants, historians, and participants from across the country to honor the memory of those who went on this tragic journey.
More information to come.
Co-hosted by Anabaptist Mennonite Biblical Seminary remembers the traumatic history of the 1838 forced removal of about 850 Potawatomi people from their ancestral homelands. Participants will enter into a journey of deep lament over the violence caused by white settler colonization, ultimately seeking what new paths for repair today.
