The band bought the land, all that Biden seems to have done is some legal shit to put the land into a trust. I think this is just the process of adding those lands officially to the reserve (I could be wrong)

I would presume that they are talking about the federal bill Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation Shab-eh-nay Band Reservation Settlement Act of 2023 and one in Illinois. If I'm understanding this correctly, after over a 100 years the Potawatomi band right to sovereignty as guaranteed by a 200 year old treaty is being debated in both the US congress and Illinois congress.
Reading in to this makes me want to go to a protest in DeKalb county as according this NBC news
I'd want to tell them "Land back and I'll go away."
