Life by the River is more than a workshop series that celebrates Indigenous identity, lifeways and connection to land and water. Throughout the year, the museum hosts cultural events in partnership with tribal communities across the region. Through hands-on learning, food, music and storytelling, participants experience history not as something to study, but as something to live.
