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
Projects
Our exhibit on Cemetery Symbolism is open to the public in the Lower Level of Village Hall. Stop by any time Village Hall in open.
