CHICAGO (CBS)– Governor JB Pritzker will be in northwest suburban Schaumburg Friday signing bills that expand protections for Native Americans in Illinois.
He’s signing the bills at 2:30 p.m. at the Trickster Cultural Center, a gallery dedicated to contemporary Native American art.
The Governor’s office didn’t specify which bills he is signing, but state lawmakers did pass a bill requiring elementary and high schools to teach Native American history starting in the 2024-2025 school year.
Another bill passed would protect the graves of Native Americans and create a cemetery for the reburial of Native American ancestors.
