The Museum of the Plains Indian

So, this is the Museum here. It looks incredibly governmental from the outside, as you would expect as it is a part of the Department of the Interior. There are some interesting sculpture outside near some pick-nick tables in the front of to the side of this image but most of the art works are housed within. The Museum is open 7-days a week during the summer and through the end of September. David Dragonfly is the Curator of the Museum. He is a cordial gentleman, down to earth and quite knowledgeable. I had the opportunity to see a few pieces of his artwork: they were wonderful. I’ll see if I can get some images of them to post here.
