Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana

The Coushatta Tribe of Louisiana will modify open lands adjoining the tribal museum to create innovative outdoor areas and adaptations to existing exhibits to safely reopen the museum. This project will safely disinfect the museum interior and reduce crowding inside the building by modifying existing exhibits to include both indoor and outdoor elements; developing outdoor work and demonstration areas for tribal artisans; developing new training curriculum for youth to serve as museum guides; installing outdoor hand-washing and safety stations for artisans and visitors; and installing outdoor viewing and seating areas for films and other events. They expect that project benefits and products, including revised interpretive materials and interactive activities, will enhance the overall visitor experience for many years to come.
