A living, breathing place, where more than just Indian objects are on display. | ||

It wasn’t enough that this museum housed one of the world’s foremost collections of Northern Plains
cultural artifacts. Exhibits had to tell the stories of the people who made and used them.
In this new installation, Plains people’s own voices put priceless artifacts in the context of
daily and ceremonial life. Narratives, poetry, songs and imagery illuminate traditions and values
that continue to evolve and endure in the present.
