THE KARANKAWA, An Exhibit Showcasing The Enduring Culture Of Texas

Expiration: After selected date
The Heritage Society

The Heritage Society is proud to announce the opening of “KARANKAWA: AN ENDURING CULTURE OF TEXAS,” a special exhibit honoring Indigenous People’s History Month.

The Karankawa, an Indigenous people composed of five distinct tribes, have a rich history and culture that has long been overlooked. Their ancestral lands spanned the central Texas Gulf Coast, from Galveston Bay to Corpus Christi, with one group residing in or near modern-day Houston. This exhibit at The Heritage Society is a groundbreaking collaboration with the Karankawa tribe, who have had full authority over its content. By empowering the tribe to narrate their own history, the exhibit seeks to rectify the historical injustice of having their narrative dictated by outsiders.

The exhibit is at The Heritage Society at 1100 Bagby Street in the Herzstein Museum Gallery until 3/29/2025. Tickets are $5 and gain you access to three additional exhibits. Parking is free at 212 Dallas Street.
