In what is now Minnesota, the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community operates the Hočokata Ti, a cultural center. Relying on traditional knowledge to guide the design of exhibits, this institution presents Dakota history and culture to the tribe’s citizens. The Bois Forte Band of Chippewa, a tribe in Minnesota, employs a similar strategy in its own cultural center. Both centers contrast with museums that aren’t Indigenous-led; when displaying Indigenous artifacts, such museums tend to anticipate mainly non-Indigenous audiences and rely on Euro-centric strategies for designing exhibits.
