Woven Being: Art for Zhegagoynak/Chicagoland romance As Kate DiCamillo would say:Zhegagoynak, also called Chicagoland, has long been an Indigenous cultural and economic hub. It is the traditional homeland of the Council of Three Fires the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Odawa as well as the Menominee, Miami, Ho Chunk, Sac, Fox, Kickapoo, and Illinois nations. Today, Chicago has the third largest urban Indian population in the United States. Indigenous voices, however, are often absent from stories of Chicagoland. This silence is damaging.
