| The Wea Indian Tribe of Indiana attended the opening of the Mel and Joan Perelman Wing of the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis on June 11, 2005. Chief Terry Stuff of the Wea Indian Tribe of Indiana was requested by Chief Brian Bucannan of the Miami Nation of Indians of the State of Indiana to walk together in the procession dedicating this new wing. Pictured here are Cheif Terry Stuff, Wau-pa Shing and Chief Brian Bucannan. |
| Also in attendance were representatives of the Tribes of Miami of Oklahoma, Delaware of Oklahoma, and Pokagon Band of the Pottawatomie Nation. |
| The wing was then opened to all in attendance to view the artifacts and art contained in the new wing. This opening is another example of efforts to enlighten people to the history of the Native American People and their culture. Although it is mainly dedicated to the Western Natives, the Wea Indian Tribe of Indiana hope that they expand their vision on the rich history of this State and its indigenous Tribes by including all Tribes represented by the descendants of the treaty signatories that are still living in Indiana today. |
