A museum preserving Native American culture owes its existence to an unlikely friendship. The partnership between a Two-Spirit man and a scholar of transcendental religion led to the museum's establishment. A woven tapestry depicting a creation story caught the scholar's attention, sparking the friendship.

This tapestry was a unique representation of a scene typically rendered in temporary sand paintings. The museum's legacy continues to inspire, despite the Two-Spirit man's passing shortly before its opening. His culture is preserved through the museum, thanks to the friendship and efforts of its founders.
