Tip to arrive at the museum: don't follow Google maps and ask locals which way to go. You should be coming from the North, passing the Good Shepard school and then entering the museum using a road north of it. Google maps took us twice the wrong way, causing us to get stuck on a dirt road and loose one hour.

The museum itself is a good initiative but unfortunately there were minimal explanations of what was displayed. The explanations also describe each tribe using very outdated language from the 19th century which sounded like they are describing animals and not humans. I would love to see these descriptions change and see tribal communities tell their own stories and describe themselves in the way they would like to be portrayed.
