My Place (Native Business Site)

My Place was a bar and restaurant in Uptown owned and operated by Willi and Daedee Mudd, intended to provide a gathering space for Native people who came to Chicago before and through the voluntary relocation program. It was described as a “place of gathering, carry outs, and pool tables” and was among many Native organizations promoted as an “American Indian owned and operated business” in Chicago and the larger metropolitan area. It is one of many examples of Native folks creating and taking part in the larger Chicago community throughout and after relocation.
