The museum attempts to educate the non-Indian public to the diversity of people who
are know known by the term "American Indian" by exhibits reflecting their geographic
locations and how that influences their tribal structure, art, and lodging construction.    
The exhibits are developed to provide recognition and acknowledgement of the respect
the Piscataway people have for our non human relations.

The facility is dedicated to promoting Native American culture and traditional arts have
continued among the Piscataway and traditional patterns are being incorporated and
utilized on modern items.  

The balance of the museum is focused on the Piscataway by highlighting our arts of
yesterday and today, the tools the ancestors used in daily life, the major time periods in
our history and other pertinent displays describing our people.  The major attraction of
this effort is the full scale re-constructed "longhouse".  A longhouse is the type of home
our ancestors lived in when the first contact with Europeans occurred.  This exhibit
reflects daily life items that would have been inside the  longhouse during the
pre-European contact period.
