Bring your students to learn about contemporary Native American life

INDIANAPOLIS – November is Native American Heritage Month, and the Indiana State Museum is set to host a special day of learning and exploring Native Americans’ continued impact in the community, Indiana, and beyond.

Learn about contemporary Native American life, and discover the variety of tribal nations within Indiana with their unique traditions and history. Have discussions with Native American individuals representing different tribes who will be on-site to discuss not only their tribal traditions but also their careers. By discussing their current roles and interests along with their tribal customs, these individuals hope to educate visitors and disband stereotypes about Native Americans.

Unable to visit the museum on this day? You and your students can dive into Mississippian culture during an in-person, outreach, or virtual visit to Angel Mounds State Historic Site’s Indiana’s Original Rivertown program.
