The Seminole Tribe of Florida’s Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum has earned national accreditation from the American Association of Museums (AAM).
Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki, which means “a place to learn,” is the first tribally governed museum in the United States to receive official certification from the AAM.
“I am both honored and proud to have such an achievement bestowed upon our Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum. When the Tribal Council embarked upon this journey it was about more than just a seal of approval,” said Mitchell Cypress, Chairman of the Seminole Tribe of Florida. “It was about making sure that our tribal museum was operating under the standards that would insure our history and culture would be preserved forever.”
