Kansas has a rich history that’s well involved with Native American tribes, and though we often hear about the battles, we don’t often hear about the culture of the various peoples involved. For Kansas, one of the best spots to learn about Native culture and customs is this special spot.. If you’ve ever wanted to learn about some of the Native American tribes throughout America, you’ll find lots at this Kansas museum. Come take a look for yourself!

Welcome to the Mid-America All-Indian Center, a museum where you’ll find information all about different Native tribes’ art and culture.

Starting in 1969, the goal of the center has been to preserve and teach the history and culture of any and every native nation any way they can. It’s a home for authentic historical items as well as more current art and handmade goods from local donators.

The art displayed here at the center comes from various locations, but each features those bright, vivid colors of the rainbow that you can find in any native art from any era, especially the crimson and turquoise.

It’s not focused on any one tribe, either. They display information, history, and traditions from each tribe equally,

Included with the center is their outdoor learning area, where you can continue to experience some of this culture in a more hands-on way.
