Exploring a series of Forgotten Illinois stories that shaped both state and federal policies towards American Indians and based on the transcriptions of speeches that Territorial Governor Ninian Edwards and Pottawatomie Chief Gomo delivered at Cahokia, Fox Tales International created a performance that challenges listeners, launching a conversation encouraging them to formulate their own point of view.

They presented performances all along the Edward’s Trace, including Cahokia, Edwardsville, Springfield, Elkhart, Peoria, and Chillicothe. We will film the program and create interactive lesson plans that bring the humanities to life with curriculum tied to state standards.
