You can read about the cultures of Indiana’s indigenous tribes in any number of text books. But what if you could actually learn the Miami language from a living member of the tribe? What if you could research Native American basketry in a 5,500-volume library dedicated to Native American and Western studies? What if you could try silversmithing with a Delaware artisan? The 6,000-square-foot Nina Mason Pulliam Education Center allows school children and lifelong learners to extend their visits to the Eiteljorg by exploring art, history and cultures of the American West and native peoples of North America in a hands-on setting.

Resource Center Opens the Museum's Library to the Public
The Stephen & Sharon Zimmerman Resource Center, housed in the Pulliam Education Center, includes books, DVDs, videos and other resources that support research into Western and Native American art, history and culture. This extensive collection is available for public use, free of charge, any time the museum is open. The Resource Center, which is staffed by a librarian, includes a TV, DVD player, computers and other research technology.
