Obama Center displays Indigenous land message
The Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, operated by the Obama Foundation, opened with an Indigenous land acknowledgment but is also criticized for sitting on public land transferred to the foundation for only $10 under a controversial 99-year agreement. Critics argue that the land, created through landfill efforts, was essentially acquired from taxpayers rather than Native Americans, highlighting broader disputes over the land transfer and the project's costs. Despite claims of promoting economic development and minority business support, some subcontractors allege they are owed millions for work performed on the project.
