The fort was created to establish military control over the fur trade on the Chicago River. During the time of the fort\u2019s occupation, many Native villages in the region were attacked by US military forces including the village of the leader of an intertribal movement, Tecumseh (Shawnee). Tecumseh recruited several Chicago Native leaders to join his movement, and they coordinated a series of attacks on US forts in the summer of 1812, including an attack on Fort Dearborn. This attack was strategically timed with the evacuation of the fort, which was occurring as a result of the War of 1812. US soldiers and civilians were attacked just a few miles from the fort in a brutal 15 minute battle. However, some were also rescued by Native people like Archange Ouilmette. The Battle of Fort Dearborn was called a \u201cmassacre\u201d for many years in order to associate Native people with unprovoked violence, but it was one of many battles during the period in which Native people fought on both sides.<\/p><div><div><p><em>Further Resources<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/map.indigenous-chicago.org\/pr\/indigenous-chicago\/li\/3b070b7b-ecba-4eef-85d7-e161890a0839\"

Though many Native communities were removed from Chicago in the 1830s, Native people have consistently returned to and continue to live in Chicago today. Chicago was one of five original relocation sites for Native people in the voluntary relocation program (1952-1972) run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Relocation Act of 1956. In its first nine years the program relocated almost 5,000 Native people to Chicago from their home communities. Uptown was the main neighborhood where Native families moved, and many organizations, including the Chicago American Indian Center (AIC) were founded to support the expanding Native community. Many of these organizations are still open today, and work together through the Chicago American Indian Community Collaborative (CAICC) a delegation of fifteen organizations that share the goal to meet the current and future needs of Native people in Chicago.<\/span><\/div><div>\u00a0<\/div><div><div><p><em>Further Resources<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/felt.com\/map\/Relocation-to-Chicago-jl7MRhYcSkGww9AEuCQDCHC?loc=50.43,-113.46,3.91z&amp;share=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Relocation Map<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/map.indigenous-chicago.org\/pr\/indigenous-chicago\/li\/ba57f257-c6ce-43b9-8809-6946337e14e2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uptown City Story<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/map.indigenous-chicago.org\/pr\/indigenous-chicago\/li\/bbd4a4ea-ec00-42bf-8dfa-3e30b2679fad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CAICC City Story<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c6e787 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2c6e787\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-506c24a e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"506c24a\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This page to provides more readily usable information for tour guides in Chicago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2359,"parent":521,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-541","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
