Indiana State Museum
Included with general admission (free for members)
Celebrate the diversity of Native American culture during this event with the Indiana Native American Indian Affairs Commission and the Indiana State Museum. Explore contemporary Native American life, and discover the variety of tribal nations within Indiana with their unique traditions and history. Have discussions with 13 Native American individuals representing 13 different tribes who will be on-site to discuss not only their tribal traditions but also their careers as a banker, a victims’ advocate, firefighter, police officer, photographer, retired military and more.
By discussing their current roles and interests along with their tribal customs, these individuals hope to educate visitors and disband stereotypes pertaining to Native Americans.
Our galleries will be filled with hands-on activities to participate in. Learn about Native American pottery, how to play the Potawatomi Dice Game and discover the Paleo Indian Life, the oldest Native American culture in Indiana.
