Reinterpretation of the museum’s Native American gallery through collaboration and consultation with tribal representatives.

The Jim Gatchell Memorial Museum would like to create a Native American Wisdom Council by gathering regional tribal members from the Crow, Shoshone, Arapaho, Sioux, and Cheyenne tribes. This council would then be paid as guest curators/consultants to reinterpret their Native history throughout the museum's exhibit galleries. Museum staff and volunteers would coordinate meetings, document, and facilitate the installation of new interpretation and exhibits throughout the museum.
