The Museum will be closed on Thursday, November 28 and Friday, November 29 in observation of Thanksgiving. We will re-open at 10 AM on Monday, December 2.
While we celebrate time with friends and family, we acknowledge that Chicago is part of the traditional homelands of the The Council of Three Fires, made up of the Odawa, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi tribes.
American Indians continue to live in the region, and Chicago is home to the country’s third-largest urban American Indian community, which still practices its heritage and traditions, including care for the land and waterways.
Learn more about this land and the history of its people by visiting our friends at the American Indian Center, Chicago.
