Tribal Museums Day 2023
Saturday, December 2, 2023
Description
Sharing Our Wisdom, Values and Diverse Cultures
In celebration of the Association on American Indian Affairs’ 100th anniversary (1922-2022), the Association is honored to announce the second annual Tribal Museums Day to be held on Saturday, December 2, 2023. We are engaging 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 will bring attention to our diverse Nations and cultures, stimulate tourism, and grow Tribal economies. Tribal Museums Day will also support 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.
