Native American Heritage Celebration
November is National Native American Heritage Month
On November 12th, 10 am-5 pm, Burpee Museum invites you to our celebration of Native American Heritage.
In conjunction with our newest contemporary exhibition, “Of This Place,” a collaborative effort between the Burpee Museum and Native American people from the Sac and Fox, Potawatomi, and Ojibwe Nations, we will have special guests, learning and interactive stations, and opportunities to grow as a collaborative community.
Be inspired by contemporary and traditional artworks and learn about the histories of the represented Nations from their own cultural educators and artists. Experience the living cultures, languages, and history of Native American people who are “Of This Place.”
