Hello Kyrie,

The Morehead Planetarium and Science Center, in Chapel Hill, NC, 
recently developed the traveling exhibit The Ancient Carolinians. It 
explores the lives of the earliest peoples that lived in the Carolinas 
and how we can use the science of archaeology (combined with many other 
sciences) to tell their story. In the creation of this exhibit, we 
worked with archaeologists, American Indian groups in NC, and primitive 
skills specialists.  Each month we have a different event related to the 
content of the exhibit -- a symposium focused on current research of 
extant American Indians tribes in NC, teacher workshops, and family 
science events. These events have provided us with the opportunity to 
attract a wider audience, and provide deeper experiences for our visitors.

Please call if you have any questions and the best of luck in your own 
exhibit development process!
Shelley
