TRIBAL MUSEUMS DAY

Sharing Our Wisdom,
Values & Diverse Cultures

In celebration of the Association on American Indian Affairs’ 100th anniversary, the Association is honored to announce the first annual Tribal Museums Day was held on Saturday, December 3, 2022. We are engaged Tribal Museums and Cultural Centers across Indian Country to share our collective wisdom, values and diverse cultures! 
 
The Association’s vision is to create a world where diverse Native cultures and values are lived, protected and respected. Tribal Museums Day brought attention to our diverse Nations and cultures, stimulate tourism, and grow Tribal economies. Tribal Museums Day also supported the vision and mission of each Tribal Museum by re-educating the public that our Nations are the primary experts of Indigenous histories, knowledge, cultures, lifeways and values.
