Land Acknowledgment Statement
Forest Park is located on the indigenous homelands of several tribal nations: the Kickapoo, Peoria, Kaskaskia, Potawatomi, Myaamia, and Ochethi Sakowin. We acknowledge the painful forced removal of these people from their ancestral lands by European settlers. We commit to building relationships with descendants of these tribal nations who still call this area home and to sharing the history and contributions of native peoples with the Forest Park community.
The Historical Society of Forest Park is proud to continue our oral history project; Our Neighbors. The first chapter of this project, Our Neighbors, Our Neighbors will focus on Veterans who have lived in Forest Park.
