Plan your Trip to Chicago
Chicago,
on Lake Michigan in Illinois, is among the largest cities in the U.S. Famed for
its bold architecture, it has a skyline punctuated by skyscrapers such as the
iconic John Hancock Center, 1,451-ft. Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower)
and the neo-Gothic Tribune Tower. Chicago shines for its world-class museums,
various shopping districts, vibrant neighborhoods and lively nightlife venues.
The City
of Chicago is located on land that is and has long been a center for Native
peoples. The area is the traditional homelands of the Anishinaabe, or the
Council of the Three Fires: the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi Nations. Many
other Nations consider this area their traditional homeland, including the
Myaamia, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Sac and Fox, Peoria, Kaskaskia, Wea, Kickapoo,
and Mascouten. The City specifically acknowledges the contributions of Kitihawa
of the Potawatomi in fostering the community that has become Chicago.
