Description
The American Indian Cultural Center and Museum (AICCM) is an emerging cultural institution located in Oklahoma City. The mission of the AICCM is to educate the broader public about the unique cultures, diversity, history, and contributions of the tribal nations that were removed from their original homelands to Indian Territory, now the state of Oklahoma. With Corporation support, the AICCM will develop content for three signature exhibitions which will tell the collective stories of the removal of tribes from their ancestral homelands to what is now Oklahoma; create content descriptions for the approximately 140 objects that will be placed in the Smithsonian Exhibition gallery; and design content and materials for the Family Discovery Center which promote and encourage an intergenerational transference of knowledge from elders to youth, especially with regard to Native languages, tribal history, cultural-lifeways and traditions, and community values.
