Visitors entering the Red Earth Museum enter a world spanning prehistory through contemporary times. Dwarfed by the Fred Jones British Columbian totem poles that stretch ever upward at the museum's entrance, you wind your way past Anasazi vessels from approximately 1000 CE, stone tools and arrowheads from circa 1200 CE, and an Apache water basket and Navajo blanket from the late 1800s.
As Native flute music floats through the air, visitors discover such items as Sioux and Cheyenne beadwork, Hopi baskets, and Comanche rattles - all of which paint a sensuous picture in earth tones and natural materials. Recently renovated, the Red Earth Museum is a notable small museum featuring splendid examples of traditional and contemporary Indian painting, carving, pottery, and artifacts. The museum is the proud home of the Deupree Cradleboard Collection, donated by Dr. Harry Deupree of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This fascinating exhibit is one of the Southwest's finest cradleboard collections, and is a microcosm of the diversity that makes up Native American cultures.
