Native American High School Students Create Their Own Exhibit
November 29, 2018
For the past 15 years, the Plains Indian Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West welcomes high school students from the St. Labre Indian School located in Montana. In two days, the students pick objects from the museum’s archive and learn the process of creating an exhibit. Wyoming Public Radio’s Kamila Kudelska spoke with St. Labre teachers, Philippe Franquelinand Cecilia Thex on the exposure a program like this gives high school students.
The students’ exhibit will be displayed in the Plains Indian Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West in Cody until March.
