The Institute for American Indian Studies focuses on the study of the indigenous peoples throughout the western hemisphere with particular emphasis on the Eastern Woodlands.
Some of the highlights include a recreated Algonkian longhouse with artifacts creations that depict daily life of Algonkian peoples prior to European contact. The Alfred M. Darlow Museum Gallery deals with the clothing and textiles of indigenous peoples. Rotating exhibits are showcased in the George A.G. Darlow Exhibit Hall. The Northeastern Native American Reservation House is outfitted to reflect the early 20th C. There is also a Children's Discovery Room.
