The American Indian Center of Chicago will open a museum and art gallery next year in a Chicago suburb.
The center will lease the property in Schaumburg for $1 a year. The first exhibit will be "50 Years of Powwow," which documents the center's large annual powwow.
There are more than 31,000 Native Americans in the Chicago area, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
