ORGANIZATION: Museum of Indian Culture

Firemaking Tools
Educator, Wesley Dunn, demonstrating ancient fire making techniques.

The Museum of Indian Culture is always looking for enthusiastic educators interested in helping us develop new programs, events, and curricula for children and adults. Volunteers work directly with our educational directors. Our programs teach over 50 school and community groups each year about Native American life around the United States, both past and present, and traditional Native American life-ways like flint-knapping. We also try to counter stereotypes about modern Native Americans. Interest in both education and Native American culture is all that is required.
