A Path to Knowledge, Understanding, and Respect for All Cultures
The Institute for Heritage Education (IHE) is dedicated to helping people understand and appreciate their own cultural heritage and the cultural heritage of others. We see effective heritage education as contributing to healthy, vibrant communities and a more peaceful world.
WE WORK to implement the outstanding cultural heritage program Project Archaeology, serving as the program’s national nonprofit partner.

WE SUPPORT a broad range of cultural heritage programs by providing funding and professional help and guidance.
An IHE grant supported this smaller workshop in rural western Kansas, which focused on migration of Indigenous peoples in the 17th century.
OUR BENEFICIARIES are educators, students, and the nation’s broad cultural heritage.
