Potawatomi Tribe scientists are restoring wetlands.

The Grand Kankakee Marshland was once a vast ecosystem and home to the Pokagon Band of the Potawatomi. Settlers took over most of the area and transformed the land to focus on Agriculture. Today the Potawatomi Nation and a team of scientists are bringing back the wetlands, and it's working.
