The Potawatomi of this ground are today a family of nations. Nearest this ground stands the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians, the descendant community of the band that stayed, in Michigan. With it the federally recognized Potawatomi nations as of this writing: the Citizen Potawatomi Nation in Oklahoma — where the scholar-grant family name survives as Bourassa; the Forest County Potawatomi in Wisconsin; the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation in Kansas, the country the Carey Mission removed to and the country the scholar grants were designed to fund; and the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of the Potawatomi in Michigan, heir to the 1821 reserve whose name the treaties spell Na-to-wa-se-pe. The Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Indiana Miami at pointer strength, stand as the region's other nation; no claim of this ground is made for them here, on the test printed above. The townsite's own thread into the present is thin and is printed at its size: a park name, a marker's sentence, a promotion site's history page — and the quarter-section lines themselves, for the plat of 1835 still sits inside Lazarus Bourissa's quarter of section 34, and every lot in the original town traces to the scholar grant of 1826.
