Good morning! We will be closed this Tuesday and Wednesday as they will be working on the water lines outside the museum. We're *expecting* to return to regular operational hours on Thursday. 😃

The Haskell Stadium and Memorial Arch Centennial Celebration is coming up on September 18th-19th🎉

Memorial Arch at dedication
1926
One of the most instantly recognizable landmarks on the campus of Haskell Indian Nations University, the Memorial Arch was funded separately from the rest of the stadium construction project by Agnes Quapaw-Hoffman and Alice Beaver-Hallam.
Both ladies were citizens of the Quapaw Tribe and graduates of Haskell Institute. The Memorial Arch serves as a memorial to their friends and classmates who served in the First World War.

Haskell alumni at stadium dedication
1926
Haskell Institute graduates were invited back to visit the school during the homecoming festivities. Many of the donations to the stadium fund came from former Haskell students. The entire construction project was funded solely by contributions from Native American people.

Last week of summer semester📚
let’s take a look at the scenes and past student body of Haskell

Last photo is from
Haskell Institute students circa 1900
This detail of a panoramic photo shows a selection of the student body at Haskell Institute gathered in front of Hiawatha Hall.
The uniforms that they are wearing were produced on site in the school's tailoring and shoemaking departments as training for the students
