Oklahoma City to build American Indian cultural center
A cooperative Oklahoma project plans a $100 million American Indian cultural center in Oklahoma City to honor tribes relocated to the state. Groundbreaking is expected within a year after design completion, with 300 donated acres worth over $5 million and $12.1 million already provided by the state. The center aims to partner with the Smithsonian and use holograms and projection exhibits. Don Fixico will be the consultant, and the final design is due in March, with concepts like In the Earth and Of the Earth under consideration.
