If I could give more stars I would. The Kwahadi (pronounced Kwadi)are a subtribe of the Cherokee. The museum is really dedicated to ALL Western /Plains and even the Mexican tribes. FANTASTIC art and artifacts are available to see. The people are very knowledgeable and friendly and the private collection of art and books from Mr. Thomas Mails was breathtaking to see the original art used in his books. This is a MUST SEE when you are in the area. Hours are limited to 1pm-4:30pm Sat and Sunday. You will need several hours to really see all the items in this dedicated muse

Great Museum good show.

AN UNKNOWN TREAT IN AMARILLO! The Kwahadi Indian Museum might be a rather small building but it is packed with Indian art, artifacts, clothing, photos, and a nice little gift shop too.It is inexpensive to go there, but the hours are not great, so be sure to check that before going.If you are fortunate enough to be there in February, June, or July, you might get the opportunity to catch an amazing performance of authentic Native American Indian dances. These dances were passed down from four different tribes in this region, and are performed by local Boy and Girl Scouts. Cost is less than $10/adult/show.Dont pass this this one up!

The museum was a great place to spend some time with my girlfriend. There were all sorts of incredible artifacts, and interesting history. There was also a great giftshop with any sort of souvenir you could want. It wasnt crowded at all, we got to spend as much time as we wanted in the different exhibits. The Kwahadi dancing group was practicing and even let us join in and learn a part of their routine!

Was rather disappointed in the content of the museum. It was basically all art. I came expecting to learn about the Kwahadi Indians but went away with no history lesson. The museum is well built with interesting architecture and the staff were nice. That was about it .

Excellent place for scouts to spend the night. The A/C is good and the accommodations are great for traveling scout groups.

Very nice! Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly...made me feel like family. Will definitely be back again soon! ️️

Awesome, I loved every single bit of it

A small yet great museum of Native American Indian artifacts for a very reasonable price. It includes a packed gift shop filled with Indian made jewelry, mementos, and books.If you are lucky enough to visit when the winter or summer dance ceremonies are being performed, you are in for a Treat! Authentic Native American Indian Dances of four tribes are performed by boy and girl scouts in a fast paced, colorful tribute to the original inhabitants of the Panhandle.I have taken a group of foreign exchange students there for the past 10 years and never get tired of watching the dances.

Locally owned and operated museum with a fascinating collection of native American belongings and art.

Absolutely fantastic place full of history! Bring the entire family and all of your friends!

Fabulous museum with huge collection of Native American artifacts, artwork, and must impressive is that it is the home of a Boy Scout Venture Crew that specializes in Native American dances . They travel all over the US educating us on such culture. Watched this coed youth group practicing there and have seen them perform. They are great.

Love this place although the gift shop runs quite expensive especially given that any turquoise jewellery I was told comes from trawling pawn shops which is sad, local natives Handmake these pieces and then pawn them only for one of the staff members of the heritage museum gets the items and sells on for probably 3 times what the persom who made it got. The place is run by white people as far as Ive seen and the dance class i watched too. The Museum artifacts are awesome and some off the giftshop items too.... thats about all. Id love too see some or any native americans working there - kinda has a what mexicans think of taco Bell vibe.

Very interesting place and nice, knowledgeable people.

Amazing performance by the dancers. Most are kids and teenagers who are very dedicated.

The display of indian culture was great the Indian dancers was awsome

Great Indian dance presentations done throughout the year and a nice little museum to visit. Its tucked away off the beaten path but worth the time.

Beautiful place.

Great they had stuff i had never seen before

Wonderful place great host. Clearly an underappreciated chunk of historical and cultural preservation.

Very cool museum

Nice ethnic pride displayed

We enjoy the night like always

Stopped on vacation. Had lots of gift items with local flair.

Please please do NOT stay here overnight with a scouting troop! It maybe free but you get what you pay for!On June 21st, 2016 between midnight and 5am someone broke into our troop truck and stole a bunch of stuff including a very expensive Nikon D700 Camera body, 2 lenses, memory cards, nikon binoculars and my favorite walking stick with a Garner State Park emblem on it. They also took many of the girls clothing, shoes and bags a long with personal items. These are all NOT covered by GS insurance or auto insurance..These girls are only 10-11 years old. This place has NO security and NO camera or night lighting and it is very conveniently located right off the highway next to a big truck stop. There are too many places for a thief or 2 to hide and wait and then steal with NO one even noticing. Please please do not stay there. It is NOT safe!!! No one from the boy scout council or anything has offered to help refund or replace items.. NO one cares!!

We went to Amarillo with this as one of the top on to do list. We arrived in town and find it has very limited hours. Worse we went at 300pm today and doors locked. The parking lot is very run down and it makes the place feel abandoned. Its very univiting from the outside. Real shame we missed out on what seems to be a good museum.

Incredible facility and authentic in every way possible. Have known these folks for many years and they work diligently to honor native peoples and have tremendous respect for customs and traditions.

It is a small spot, the cool part is that scouts can sleep here

Amazing!!!There is much to be learned inside the walls of this museum.The heritage of Native America is alive and loved and very well represented!

One of the best places to go when youre in north Texas. Im part of a Boy Scout troop/Venture crew that stays at the kwahadi kiva when we come to north Texas and I have to say its incredible! We all love the dancing, artwork, and the exhibits! When you come in you feel welcome right away.

Very interesting, but mostly an art Gallery with about everything for sale.

Even in their transition from winter to summer displays very interesting!

The museum is nice and we sleep good but our scout trailer got robbed during the night

Dancing by young people was wonderful

I love dancing for families to bring them sooo much happiness makes me happy

Very nice place

It was an honor to see this group at work for our youth.

Good clean entertainment.The kids work hard to put on the show.

Absolutely amazing!

A great performance marred by unnecessary preaching. Leave at the intermission to avoid that.

Really an amazing place to visit.

Awesome. Beautiful paintings. Gift shop.

Very cool place. Lots of history!

Couldnt have been more outstanding. Highlight of a comprehensive overview of Amarillo.

Must see attraction

This is a must visit in Amarillo

Absolutely must stop

Great museum

Love to watch the Indian dance

I was in awe

Boring as hell

Fascinating place!

Good

Cause there gosh darn friendly peoples...

From the research I have done on this group, it looks like a bunch of pretendians and its obvious you do not have federal recognition, the dancers are nothing more than white people appropriating Native culture, if you were federally recognised, you would use actual eagle feathers on your trinkets, rather than chicken feather left overs from some hick farm.

Great place to visit
