We are so honored to have received this award.

Citizen Potawatomi Nation's Cultural Heritage Center is the recipient of the Institute of Museum and Library Services 2025 National Medal for Museum and Library Service.

The award, first given out in 1994, recognizes institutions for “significant and exceptional contributions to their communities.” For 2025, five libraries and five museums, including the CHC, were honored across the country. CHC Director Blake Norton said CPN is the fourth Indigenous community to have received the medal since its inception.

“It’s a very prestigious award,” Norton said. “It’s the highest recognition that an institution can receive in the United States. It is a very big deal for us, and I’m extremely grateful. I’m so proud of what we’ve been able to achieve, CHC staff, past and present, as well as our collaborative departments throughout CPN. We are very appreciative of leadership and administration for their unwavering support and confidence.”
