What happens when a people refuse to let their traditions disappear?

For the Nuxalk Nation of British Columbia, the return of the ooligan fish is more than an environmental story, it's a cultural one.

CEREMONY, screening at Bentonville Film Festival, explores the connection between Indigenous knowledge, stewardship, language, ceremony, and identity.

At MONAH, we are honored to help share opportunities to experience Native stories told by Native people.

If you love history, culture, and stories that remind us how deeply connected we are to the natural world, add this film to your BFF schedule.

🏹 Little Explorers, Big Discoveries! 🏹

One of the favorite stops for our youngest visitors is the arrowhead hunt near the tipi! There’s nothing quite like watching kids light up when they spot a hidden treasure and proudly show off their find.

At MONAH, learning history isn't just something you read about—it’s something you experience. From exploring the galleries to searching for arrowheads outside, every visit is filled with opportunities for curiosity, discovery, and fun.

Have you brought your little adventurers to try their hand at arrowhead hunting yet?
