Volunteers are the heartbeat of the Museum of Indian Culture...     and have been for over 44 years!  As a non–profit organization the museum needs your time, effort and energy to operate! Please join us as a member, volunteer, or intern and participate in our educational programs, research projects, events and annual Roasting Ears of Corn Festival. Volunteers can work independently or with others. Youth groups such as Scouts can participate by helping to maintain the museum grounds and volunteering for our events and festival, helping us set-up, clean-up, tear-down, and etc. I
