The
sound made by drums is the heartbeat of the Earth. Each bead, feather or design is an offering to the Great
Spirit. The beauty found in utilitarian objects is the pride and the gift of
their makers. If the United States
is a melting pot, then we run the risk of losing its amazing diversity. To take
an alternative point of view, if America is a tapestry that celebrates each
vibrant strand, then Native Americans are the original strands.
Mt.
Kearsarge Indian Museum is a place where you can
connect with the Great Spirit and the cultures of America’s native peoples. The
museum strives to be a center of learning, fun and respect for Native American
cultures. You don’t need a special event for the MKIM to be a great adventure
but if you’re looking for one their Harvest Moon festival in early October - overseen by a committee of Native American tradition-bearers – is one of
the best.

Since 2006 MKIM expanded its Turtle Island Summer Camp; announced a capital campaign aimed at securing the museum’s future; has re-dedicated its Medicine Woods Nature Trail; and has renovated office and collections storage spaces. What began as a dream is now one of the finest celebrations of Native people in the country. Whether you live nearby or are visiting from afar after your visit you’ll want to “join the circle” Memberships are available, or, investigate the many volunteer opportunities.
