The TRiiBE Guide is an annual printed magazine created with a goal of connecting Chicago’s communities in a tangible way. We hope to encourage a deep dive into the city’s Black and Indigenous histories, uplifting our forgotten or buried narratives in the mainstream conversation. Originally released in 2021, this new 2023 edition features six new stories. Filled with stories that both highlight the rich history of Black and Indigenous Chicago and reclaim this city for the people who continue the struggles for liberation today, the Triibe Guide is a must-read for all Chicagoans.
