Mille Lacs Indian Museum, Native American museum in Onamia, United States.
The Mille Lacs Indian Museum contains exhibits, artifacts, and photographs that document the life and traditions of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe.
Harry Ayer donated buildings, land, and over 2,200 Native American artifacts to the Minnesota Historical Society in 1959, establishing the foundation for this museum.
Exhibits feature traditional Ojibwe crafts including beadwork, weaving, birch-bark baskets, and seasonal activities through life-size dioramas in the Four Seasons Room.
The museum includes a trading post where visitors can purchase handmade Native American art, crafts, jewelry, pottery, and educational materials about Ojibwe culture.
The exhibits present information in both English and Ojibwe languages, incorporating traditional knowledge with modern display techniques to tell the tribe's story.
