The Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum is a private, not-for-profit institution dedicated to the appreciation, interpretation, demonstration and exhibition of the culture, traditions, and values of the First Nations people of North America. The museum seeks to present how the people of the Plains lived and adapted to their surroundings and each other prior to and after contact with European culture.

Our aboriginal heritage exists not only within itself, but involves all members of society. Through interpretation and education, the Buffalo Nations Luxton Museum endeavors to provide knowledge and understanding of our unique cultural heritage for all to enjoy.

Museum Donors help to support the preservation and interpretation of Canada’s rich aboriginal heritage for the benefit of future generations
