A few years back (2019) we went to Wichita Kansas to go to the OldCowtown Museum. We went for a walk along the river and were drawn to a great statue of “The Keeper of the Plains”. We then saw the Mid-America All-Indian Museum and wanted to go in but it was closed that day. It went on the “when in the area” list and, guess what, we were in the area on this trip and planned our route and timing to be there on a day when it was open.
When we went in, we were surprised how small it was. The very nice person who greeted us said “we are small but mighty”. She explained that it was started as a local gathering place for local American Indians and is slowly growing into a place to collect stories and artifacts and to display them to share. It didn’t take us a lot of time to see everything but I must say that the display of Blackbear Bosin art was amazing.
