Citizen Potawatomie Nation Launches Tribal Genealogy Website
A newly launched genealogy website hopes to help members of the Potawatomi Nation uncover information about their family's past.
Most people have heard of or used a genealogy website, like Ancestry or 23 and Me to learn more about their family's past; but those mainstream sites may not help people of all cultures.
After about six years of work, the Potawatomi Nation has launched its own tribal genealogy website. Its goal is to help tribal members reach across state lines and generations to build their family tree.
"The information that is provided by us, the nation and it has all been vetted," explained Dr. Kelli Mosteller, Executive Director of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center.
