Plains Indian Encampment

We are pleased to announce that ongoing renovation to our Plains Indians Encampment have been taking place for more than a year now. Many volunteers from the community, the Warriors Society, and the Boy Scouts have been essential to the reopening of this exhibit.

The Indian Center's Plains Indians Encampment is an exhibit that portrays an accurate replica of 1850's Plains Indian life.

The Native American Plains Indians Encampment is an important addition to the Mid-America All-Indian Center complex. It represents the hard work of individuals from tribal elders to concerned citizens, all wishing to preserve the culture and history of the Native American people.

As you walk the paths of Plains Indians Encampment, the sounds of the Big and Little Arkansas Rivers flowing to either side and the prairie wind rustling through the trees overhead, you can catch a glimpse of what village life was like for the people who first lived in this area - the Kiowa, the Cheyenne, the Wichita, and the Sioux.
