Southern Plains Indian Museum The Southern Plains Indian Museum displays richly varied arts of western Oklahoma tribal peoples including the Kiowa, Comanche, Kiowa-Apache, Southern Cheyenne, Southern Arapaho, Wichita, Caddo, Delaware, and Ft. Sill Apache. Their historic clothing, shields, weapons, cradleboards and toys highlight the permanent exhibit. A series of promotional sales exhibitions introduces unsurpassed contemporary American Indian arts and crafts by emerging and professional artists and craftspersons. Rotating exhibitions highlighting the museum’s collections are featured throughout the year. Founded in 1947-48 through Federal and Oklahoma State governments’ cooperative efforts, the Museum is administered by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, an agency of the U.S. Department of the Interior that promotes the development of contemporary American Indian and Alaskan Native arts by encouraging expansion of the Indian arts and crafts market. The Indian Arts and Crafts Act, P.L. 101-644 as amended, is a federal truth-in-marketing law in support of authentic Indian arts and crafts.
