Shab-eh-nay, who was born about 1775 and died in 1859, was promised land in northern Illinois in an 1829 treaty, but the government sold it to white settlers in about 1848. The General Assembly is poised to approve a plan to transfer control of the nearby Shabbona Lake State Recreation Area to the Prairie Band. (NIU Digital Library via AP)
