The Mid-America All-Indian Museum in Wichita, Kansas, opened in 1976 as a cultural institution and social-service provider for the local Native American community, then gradually shifted its focus to heritage and education as other agencies assumed social services. Renamed a museum in 2022, it is regarded as Kansas’s only facility solely dedicated to American Indian culture. Its collections include Native art and material culture, especially the largest publicly displayed body of work by Blackbear Bosin, creator of the Keeper of the Plains. Located along the Arkansas River, it remains an important gathering place for Wichita’s Native population and hosts powwows and other events.
