The Treaty of Medicine CreekFebruary 10–July 8, 2024
From February 10 to July 8, 2024, the History Museum will display the original, hand-written Article III of the 1854 Medicine Creek Treaty that guaranteed fishing rights to Tribal Treaty signers.
This historic document, on loan from the National Archives and Records Administration, remains a powerful reminder of the complexity of the Native American experience—loss, resilience, and triumph across generations of struggle to maintain culture and identity.
