Today seemed like a good opportunity to see “Indige-Facts” at Isle a la Cache Museum, which is focused primarily on Native American life and the voyageurs. For some reason, I didn’t take any photos of the exhibit, which I regret. There were many names and details I wanted to look up. Here’s how it was described.

“The exhibit raises and answers questions such as: Are Native Americans U.S. citizens? How many Indigenous people live in this country? Do all American Indians live on reservations? What are the right words to describe the people who have always lived here?,” according to a release.

The Mitchell Museum of the American Indian in Evanston created the traveling exhibit, which is on loan to the Forest Preserve District’s Isle a la Cache Museum in Romeoville.

It was only after I got there I realized the exhibit came from Evanston, which would have been closer.

(As a side note, loved the sky along the lakefront on the way to I-55.)
