Citizen Potawatomi Nation

The Citizen Potawatomi Nation will digitize family history records and make them available to tribal members through a public portal. The Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center will partner with the Kansas Historical Society—which holds more than 40,000 documents related to the Potawatomi—on this project. A contracted document processer will work with archivists to assess the records. Following that step, the project team will scan, catalog, and make the materials freely available for tribal members to access. This project will benefit more than 37,000 Potawatomi Nation tribal members living in Oklahoma, Kansas, and throughout the United States.
