Mission & Land Acknowledgement

Mission Statement

We use world-building to build the worlds we deserve, together!


LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Better World Museum and Horizon Art Museum collectively acknowledge that we are physically and virtually located on the traditional, ancestral, contemporary, and future lands of Indigenous people. The Museum resides on land that was cared for and called home by the Ojibwe people, before them the Dakota and Northern Cheyenne people, and other Native peoples from time immemorial. Ceded by the Ojibwe in an 1854 treaty, this land holds great historical, spiritual, and personal significance for its original stewards, the Native nations and peoples of this region. We recognize and continually support and advocate for the sovereignty of the Native nations in this territory and beyond. By offering this land acknowledgment, we affirm tribal sovereignty and will work to hold Better World Museum and Horizon Art Museum accountable to American Indian peoples and nations.

Wellbeing: COVID-19, Colonialism, and Climate Change impact people, the environment, and nature leaving them vulnerable. Better World Museum creates activities and exhibitions to dispel isolation and feelings of overwhelming powerlessness as a result of these existential crises. Using immersive technology, we create individual, group, and community resilience.
