The largest single-building tribal cultural center in the U.S. is an expansive museum in Oklahoma City.

Today, 39 tribal nations, each with its own distinct language and history, reside within Oklahoma. In some regards, that makes the state a more culturally and linguistically diverse place than the European continent. Of course, this consolidation was not by choice. And while the story of the First Americans is known far and wide, one museum in Oklahoma City takes a more comprehensive and hopeful approach to the 20,000-year history of the continent.

A 175,000-square-foot museum on the banks of the Oklahoma River, the First Americans Museum is the largest single-building tribal cultural center in the country. From its location to its architecture to an on-site restaurant and—of course—an array of exhaustive exhibits, FAM seeks not to merely tell the story of the First Americans through an indigenous lens, but to prove that this story is far from over.

My wife and I saw the movie Killers of the Flower Moon, the theater was not packed, I think I counted ten couples and not a one was under 50. Of course I had a great interest in this particular movie since it was film on location in the Fairfax OK area as my middle son and daughter-in-law live there with the grandkids.


When they were filming they would turn the town back to the era of the 20's, 30' at night and come morning you would not know that the town had been used as a movie set. I have some photos of when it was a movie set that I will post when I find them.
