State Indian Museum Details
For thousands of years, indigenous tribes inhabited that land of what we now call modern-day California. Over 150 different tribes consisting of over half a million people lived here before European settlers arrived. This museum honors those people and also offers a glimpse into what life was like centuries ago. Inside, you will find photographs, artifacts, and cultural items from many different indigenous tribes. Many of these pieces were donated by tribal families as a way to share and spread knowledge of their cultures. The museum is located in downtown Sacramento next to Sutters Fort State Historic Park.
