National Eagle Center in Wabasha will close for multimillion-dollar expansion

“The Prairie Island Indian Community donated $1 million to the renovation, helping to kick-start the work as fundraising continues. When the Eagle Center reopens, it will include new exhibit information documenting the relationship between the tribe and eagles, said Franky Jackson, the compliance officer for the Prairie Island Indian Community’s Tribal Historic Preservation Office. ‘When you go there right now, there’s an absent narrative,’ he said. ‘There’s basically no mention of Native Americans’ connection to the eagle.’”
