2025 POTTAWATOMI GATHERING

ANII-BOZHO!

ABOUT YOUR HOST GUN LAKE TRIBE

We, the members of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi, will maintain our elders’ vision, integrity, spirituality, culture and economic self-sufficiency by protecting our sovereignty, treaty rights, traditions, land and natural resources for our future generations.
We are very proud of how far the Gun Lake Tribe has come in recent decades. From humble beginnings with only a few key employees, to a fully-functioning Tribal Government housed at our beautiful government campus in Shelbyville, Michigan. Each day, the employees of the Gun Lake Tribal Government and the Tribal Council work toward improving the lives of Tribal Citizens and their families. We are also focused on continuing to provide education and information about the history and culture of the Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottawatomi so that these traditions and beliefs may continue to be passed down to future generations.
