About
The Gichigamiin Indigenous Nations Museum is a museum in Evanston, Illinois that focuses exclusively on the history, culture and arts of North American native peoples. The museum was established as the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian in 1977. In 2024, the museum was renamed and became Native-led, shifting its mission from an overview of U.S. and Canadian Indigenous peoples to a more specific focus on Chicago's Native community and the tribal nations across the Great Lakes region.
