Outreach and Preservation Partners
 SunWatch works in partnership with many organizations in and around the Dayton area that help us in our preservation and interpretive efforts. Many of these organizations are also involved in the preservation of natural resources, cultural resources and education. |
The American Indian Advisory Committee The American Indian Advisory Committee to the Dayton Society of Natural History (DSNH) came into being through the interest of several dedicated individuals of Native American heritage. In 1972, Solomon Brokeshoulder and other Native Americans of the Four Points Intertribal Association requested a meeting with the Dayton Museum of Natural History to communicate their concerns regarding the archaeological excavations at what is now SunWatch Indian Village/Archaeological Park. Members of the Four Points Intertribal Association were originally opposed to the excavation at that site, but subsequent communication between the two groups revealed a common desire to preserve and share Native American culture. |
