Moundville Archaeological Park and Museum is thrilled to announce the opening of a new exhibition, 'Pum vculvke enliketv tate': "The Home of Our Ancestors", co-curated by Jake Tiger of the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma on August 24, 2026! This is a free event during the event hours.

From 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., Jake Tiger will lead a walkthrough and talk about the exhibition.

Light Hors d'oeuvres will be served.

The exhibition makes a powerful and tangible case that the traditions practiced at Moundville during its height did not disappear. The craft techniques, material choices, ceremonial objects, and artistic traditions represented in the exhibition are not artifacts of a lost culture but living expressions of communities that carry Moundville's legacy forward to this day.

The exhibit will run August 24, 2026 through August 2027.

Moundville Archaeological Park got our wings at the Southern Museum of Flight's summer camp. It was a delight to bring our Moundville Archaeology program to a great group of young learners! It is always so rewarding to share the story of Moundville and the science behind how we piece it together. Thank you to the Southern Flight Museum for having us!
