Outreach programs available for schools and other organizations 

As a Tribe, we offer many programs to share and teach others about our history, culture, and society. We try to bring the Miami people to life by showing what it means to be Miami now, in today’s society, making it more tangible to those we are speaking to. In our programs we teach who we are, where we have come from, and what we stand for. By doing so we often enlighten our audiences about significant events in there local history through stories and artifacts in a multi-faceted approach to educating them, increasing their awareness of the region’s past, allowing them to gain a better awareness by broadening their knowledge base, and creating a deeper appreciation along the way.

Oral tradition has always played an important role in our history, and we feel it’s important to make sure that heritage, language, and cultural knowledge are passed on to future generations so that the identity of the Miami of Indiana people can live on.  We lose many elders each year, taking their oral traditions and stories with them.  We want to stem the tide by expanding the scope and reach of our programs to ensure the history of those who walked these lands before us isn’t lost to the ages, while instilling passion in our future generations of honoring their past. 

Our council members personally perform outreach programs in schools and other public events to help educate people on the customs and traditions of the Miami while promoting cultural awareness.

The Drum group of our tribe, the Twigh Twee Singers will also come out to schools and organizations to demonstrate and share Miami of Indiana cultural perspectives that revolve around the drum and to play traditional Miami drum songs.
