AMERICAN INDIAN EVENTS at the MAC
The Northwest Museum of Arts & Culture is proud of its collaboration with the region's four Northern Plateau Tribes: Colville Confederated, Kalispel, Coeur d'Alene, and Spokane. In addition to exhibits which focus on American Indian culture, history and art and feature objects from the MAC's nationally recognized collections, the Museum also hosts special events which celebrate the tribes' rich culture.

The importance of this golf tournament is two-fold; a direct interaction with many of the regional Columbia Plateau tribes and the creation of financial support for the Museum’s American Indian collection’s management, exhibitions and educational programming. This tournament’s ongoing success reflects a strong commitment from the local business community, individuals, community organizations and tribal enterprises committed to the advancement of the mission of the Museum’s Center for Plateau Cultural Studies.
One of the highlights every year is the many tribal teams that compete for the MAC Tribal Trophy, recently won by the Coeur d’Alene Tribe of Indians.
