Tours are available upon request

Individuals can learn about, share in, and enjoy the rich and complex cultural heritage of the diverse cultures that have been in the Peoria area, ranging from Native American through European immigrant to today's culture. The American Indian people are the hosts, but all other people are invited to be a part of the membership and activities. Connections are made between all tribes of people and many cultures. A high priority is preserving the culture to pass on to future generations. "We are all related" is an important belief taught to keep harmony and balance on the planet.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Volunteers are needed to help with multiple needs including: finishing bunk rooms, restrooms and shower facilities;
as well as general maintenance and cleanup activities.

Plans have also been proposed to build a Memory Garden, Medicine Wheel, and labyrinth. Perennials, hostas, native plants and grasses, etc. would be appreciated.
