The sign stated “Mural Project… Come Paint Our History” on the door of the newly reconstructed Cultural Center, Library and Museum. Upon entry to the lower level, you’ll find the room with four huge panels that portray exquisite artwork representing the life of the Potawatomi Nation. “The mural is a project that has been a long time idea in the making. We wanted something for the people, about the people, by the people,” said Artist Connie Friesen. The mural project started on July 23, 2007, and on August 4, 2007, the first two panels were installed on the north and south library walls. With the help of FCP community youth, Walking 4 Directions Program, tribal daycare centers and local schools, the mural project was a huge success.

The Potawatomi Cultural Center and Museum along with Grey Fox Productions, a Native American-owned company, have partnered in creating an executable stand-alone program (a program that performs as a self-contained package) implemented for Windows XP and MAC OS X systems.

The program, with assistance from Potawatomi speakers; James Thunder, Virginia Jacobson, Michael Alloway Sr., Kim Wensaut and Kevin Jacobson, is an interactive CD that has animated graphics that, when clicked upon, result in audible cues to the user to assist in learning the Potawatomi language. The program was named after our own tribal pre-school- Gte Ga Nes.
