North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources (Town Creek Indian Mound)

The Town Creek Indian Mound will improve its interpretation of the American Indian experience by planning, designing, and fabricating exhibit kiosks in a pilot phase of a larger project to renovate its exhibitions. The multimedia kiosks will feature video footage of tribal representatives discussing the artifacts on display, their place in history, and modern-day parallels. Nine different American Indian tribes from the Carolinas, the Catawba, and local community groups will provide critical insight on the interpretation of American Indian history and culture. An American Indian Advisory Council will approve all final decisions. The project will culminate with the unveiling of the kiosks, sharing of the videos online through the museum’s website and social media, and the production of a white paper and a half-day symposium sharing best practices that can be applied to other historic sites.
