Andrew Merriell & Associates Interpretive Planning & Design


	Abo Pomi Chickasaw Cultural Center Exhibition Master Plan 2002 Sulphur, Oklahoma Abo Pomi (Our House) will be a museum, a library, an archive, a center for research and education, and a place for performance and meetings. It will be a place for Chickasaw people to come together, and for others to come and learn about Chickasaw heritage and Chickasaw ways. It will provide an enduring home for the objects, materials, and knowledge that reveal much about Chickasaw culture. Programs and exhibits will show how the essence of Chickasaw has survived in their people despite assimilation, government campaigns to submerge the culture, and a rapidly changing world. Themes include history, beliefs and values, traditions and customs, language, and tribal pride. Exhibits will be rich in media environments, interactive experiences, and demonstrations. Capitalizing on existing Chickasaw media prowess, we will use technology to connect young people with the old stories that bind the Chickasaw people together. Visitors will be completely immersed in the story, and feel Chickasaw power and pride. Andrew Merriell was the sole participant employed by Hilferty & Associates in the performance of this interpretive master planning work.
