Museum of the Plains Indian

   Photography is not permitted in this small museum which exhibits beautiful examples of artwork created by the Northern Plains Tribal peoples to decorate their clothing, household goods, and ceremonial objects. The methods and materials used are explained in great detail but the history of the tribes is a bit lacking.

   The museum also sponsors exhibitions of contemporary artists. There’s a gift shop and local artists may be onsite giving demonstrations. A short video of the history of the Plains Indians runs continuously. It was made in 1970 and I thought the tone was a slightly patronizing.

   The museum is accessible.

   The parking lot is large enough for any RV.  Museum 48.55696, -113.02218
