MUSEUM & HERITAGE CENTER :: Red Cloud Indian School

The Heritage Center of Red Cloud Indian School opened as a museum in 1982. It offers to the public - local, national, and international - an outstanding collection of Native American fine arts and Lakota tribal arts, located on the main campus of Red Cloud Indian School. One of the early successful museums located on an Indian reservation, The Heritage Center's fine arts collection includes over two thousand paintings, drawings, and sculptures representing a large number of different Native American tribal traditions. Its tribal arts collection concentrates on traditional Lakota arts and history. The Heritage Center serves as an extremely valuable cultural resource not only for the students of Red Cloud Indian School but for students of the other reservation schools and for all the Lakota people of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation.

Now at The Heritage Center in Pine Ridge: "Oversized," an exhibit of some of The Heritage Center's largest pieces from the permanent collection
Now at The Dahl Arts Center in Rapid City: "Making New Traditions," a collaboration between The Heritage Center and The Dahl featuring eight young Native American artists breaking old stereotypes and making new traditions

Mission Statement
The mission of The Heritage Center is to collect, preserve and exhibit the fine arts and tribal arts of Native Americans. We will concentrate on the fine arts of all Native Americans and the tribal arts of the Lakota. We will promote the arts of Native Americans to bring a greater appreciation of their culture.
