Potawatomi Chief, Big Foot |
One school, Big Boot High School, is home of the Big Foot Chiefs. School board head Sue Pruessing says "We sit on the very beginning of Big Foot Prairie, and the school was named in honor of Chief Big Foot. We relate it to being no different than a school being named to honor John F. Kennedy... This was Big Foot's grounds and where his villages were. It's always been done very reverently in honor of him.'
I wonder if she thinks the below yearbook pages also respectfully honors the Chief.
