If you like Black Bear Bosin's art, this is the place to come. Bosin, Tsate Kongia, is internationally known for his watercolors and acrylics. The Museum has several of his works. Just outside of the museum, the Keeper of the Plains statue stands at the confluence of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers. It is Bosin's biggest and possibly his most widely recognized work. The statue's image was one of four designs on the U.S. Bicentennial medals. The other images were the Statue of Liberty, a profile of George Washington, and an image of diversity represented by four faces. It is one of the eight wonders of Kansas. The "Keeper" can be easily recognized if the traveler has visited the Wichita's Convention and Tourism Bureau's website The statue is a tribute to Wichita's Indian heritage. The plaza where the Keeper stands is worth the walk. It is a great place to take a walk with the kids to learn about Native American Culture or to go and meditate by oneself. At night, when the fire pots are aflame, it is a great sight to behold.

Since I was a child I have always be amazed by the "keeper of the plains". If you can go to one of ceremonial dances, go it is simply mesmerizing.

I liked the grounds of the Indian Center. It is built between two rivers. The statue on the point is gorgeous. Indoors, the room ringed with the flags from all the Native American nations is impressive.

My son, father and I stopped here while driving through Wichita. And we all loved it. We loved seeing the real Totem Pole, and all of the beautiful gowns there. He loved going through their small, but lovely museum. The only thing that truly surprised me was the rude service we received. NO ONE speaks to you as you're looking around, and even when we asked to go into the museum the woman behind the desk was very rude and did not seem interested in letting us in really. Would not go back because of it...such a shame.

We loved the huge indian. The park area is very nice. We liked how it over looked the river. You should definitely walk around here.

I thought it would be pretty good. It wasn't bad but it has to be an acquired taste. Haven't been back had the tacos.

If you visit this Center you will get good idea about Indians in Midwest. This center has several events per year when you can buy original handcrafts.

The displays are beautiful and inspiring. If you think you know American Indian check out this spot. You will learn so much more about the differents tribes and dialects. This is the real and original American history that everyone should look into!
