We will increase accessibility to our site and our exhibits by providing 3 -D virtual tours of our museum exhibits and our replicated Native American village. On site, visitors will have access to more information about exhibit objects and themes, gaining a deeper understanding of Native American cultures, and off site, visitors will be able to experience our site to help plan their visit. Digital access to the village will allow people with mobility issues to experience it more directly.
