Be Part of the Exciting New Future

We’re creating a new Welcome Center a dynamic space for culture, education, artists, youth, and community connection that will serve generations to come.
Planned Giving
The mission of the Museum of Indigenous People is to instill respect and understanding for the indigenous cultures of the southwest. Our mission is furthered through exhibits, educational programs, and events, all funded through the generosity of our members, friends, and community organizations.
We are embarking on a program to raise awareness about the options available to members and friends to benefit the Museum of Indigenous People (MIP) in the long term, by planning a gift funded by your trust, will, life insurance, or investments. Initially, we are focusing on growing our endowment fund substantially to provide regular income to MIP into the future.
