Oneida Indian Nation

The Oneida Indian Nation will use its grant to develop new exhibits and outreach based on the sport of lacrosse at the Shako:wi Cultural Center located on the Oneida Indian Nation reservation. The project will develop a documentary, prepare a new interactive exhibit, and provide outreach to local schools, lacrosse teams, and the surrounding community about lacrosse and its importance to both the history and the current culture of the Oneida people. With the new exhibits and outreach, the Oneida Indian Nation will enrich the telling of its history, convey aspects of its modern lifestyle and culture, attract new visitors to the museum, and inspire previous visitors to return.
