"Not far beyond the leading edge of suburban development west of Chicago, at Shabbona, Illinois, the Prairie Band of Potawatomi Indians has begun buying back land that was once a Potawatomi reservation, given by treaty in 1829 to the medicine man from whom the town later took it's name. The return of the Potawatomis, however, and the possibility that a casino might be coming with them, has provoked a great deal of controversy locally. Some members of the community are ardently opposed to the idea of a casino and its related development changing the quiet, small town way of life they currently enjoy in Shabbona. Others think that the jobs and development a casino would bring could be a good thing."
