California Indian Museum and Cultural Center - Weaving Native Culture into the Future.
Native governed and operated since 1996

The **California Indian Museum and Cultural Center (CIMCC)** exists to honor and advance the cultural vitality, sovereignty, and resilience of California Indians, recognizing their enduring relationships to land and place. Led by California Indian expertise, we amplify traditional knowledge, lifeways, and voices. Through education and advocacy, we deepen public understanding of California Indian histories, cultures, and contemporary leadership.

We achieve our purpose by being a dynamic and innovative museum and cultural center, providing exhibits and educational programs for diverse audiences, and a resilience hub for Native communities. We represent and champion California Indian knowledge, perspectives, and voices, and work to change systems by increasing California Indian visibility and authority within them.
