Events are held regularly at the Indian Center, including Powwows that attract American Indian dancers representing tribes from across the United States.The Indian Center invites visitors to stroll through its many areas that include: A museum with exhibits of traditional artifacts and contemporary art that depict the American Indian cultures of the past and present. Many of the exhibits have interactive aspects, and they change quarterly. Outdoor exhibits, which include a full-size tipi and grass houses that illustrate how Plains Indian families lived in the 1850s. Gift Shop selling American Indian-made items, music, movies and jewelry. Large indoor area, known as the Gallery of Nations, where special events and rentals take place. The Gallery of Nations can seat 350 people.The center not only houses local tribes, but those throughout the United States and Canada. It is not affiliated with one particular tribe, so the Mid-America All-Indian Center is a place where are American Indians and the general public can come to share their experiences, learn and interact with each other. There are 10,000 American Indians representing 73 tribes in the Wichita area. « less

The apparel and flags of the nations on display were interesting and beautiful, but there was a charge for the museum.......which turned out to be about 100 paintings by native americans.

This museum has many art displays and few if no interactive exhibits. It is interesting in its own right, but probably needs a small expansion in their collection / interaction.

I was saddened to see how nice of a facility this is, but the lack of Native American "museum" items. They need help with that part.

Indian villiage with Grass Hut and TeePee to walk into. StoryBoards tell facts, very interesting. Museum inside was reasonable at $1.00 Per person admission. Small but interesting with pictures, art work, and artifacts. Interesting and Informative. Worth a Visit
