Pre-Columbian cultures lived South of the United States before the arrival of Columbus.

The Museum is now open to the public at a new location with even more exhibits and additional artifacts on display.

When the first Europeans reached the shores of this continent nearly five hundred years ago, it was a vast, fertile land that supported millions of culturally distinct people who spoke in hundreds of different languages. Although no one knows for sure, a few experts believe as many as 20 to 60 million people were then native to North America. Who are these ancient Americans, and where did they come from? How did they hunt, fish, farm, and live their lives? Now, thousands of years later, these artifacts have been recovered throughout almost all of North and South America.

The Museum of Native American Artifacts invites you to "Walk Through America's Past," where we will use the actual artifacts to give you a glimpse into what life was like for America's first inhabitants. Going back over 14.000 years, up to the modern day American Indians, these artifacts have been uncovered throughout all of North America and many are on display at the Museum of Native American Artifacts. The museum is divided up into five different time periods arranged in chronological order. View our Online Gallery or browse the Internet Gift Shop for your own authentic Native American Artifact.
