Citizen Potawatomi Nation Cultural Heritage Center and FireLake Gifts | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A primary goal of the Citizen Potawatomi Museum is to preserve and interpret artifacts relevant to indigenous Great Lakes cultures, with an emphasis on the Anishinabe Potawatomi, and to facilitate an understanding of our history, heritage, values, art, philosophy, crafts, medicines, societal structure, and language -- but not merely in an historical sense. The Citizen Potawatomi are living, dynamic people with a bright future. The museum emphasizes the direct connection between our ancestors and the Citizen Potawatomi people of today. The theme, therefore, is not Who We Were, but Who We Are. Also features The Nation's Museum Research Library, Archives, Family Research Center, Veteran's Wall of Honor, Tribal Heritage Project and Long Room Events Center. FireLake Gifts is also located inside the museum, offering unique Native American made jewelry, ceremonial items, traditional native attire, a vast array of Pendleton blankets, jackets, clothing, bags and more. FireLake Gifts is open Mon-Fri, 8:30am-5:30pm and Sat, 10am-3pm. For FireLake Gifts call 405-275-3119 or visit www.firelakegifts.com for more information.
