Building Addition
Based on strong community, state and national support, a desire for increased educational programmming and requests for greater access to the collections, we are moving forward to expand our present facility.
With the help of FBT Architects a master planning session has identified needed space for the dancer program, gallery displays, and a library/research area.
Youth Program
We are expanding the leadership/character
Our Goals
Springing from the inspirational leadership of J. F. "Buck" Burshears, the Koshare Indian Dancers is a result of years of collaboration among a group of enthusiastic boys, dedicated volunteers and the generosity of our donors.
We are excited that you are thinking about giving financially. We couldn't do it without people like you and your gifts will be supporting youth education, enhancing arts and culture through your participation. Our efforts and development cannnot continue to progresss without the generosity of contributors like you. As you examine us, we hope you will be excited about our ability to use these funds wisely.
Consider Giving
building model set forth by our founder. For seventy-five years, the Koshares have been told, "Don't wait to be a great man, be a great boy." Due to this belief ninety percent (90%) of Koshare graduates have gone on to college and over one hundred of the six hundred Eagle Scouts hold doctorate degrees. The alumni range from college presidents, doctors, lawyers, professors, judges, military officers, and other who's who in American leaders. A handful became noted artists. Ten Koshares were involved in government programs connected with space exploration in 1969. Koshare men live in every state of America and continue to be great men because someone took the time to mentor, support and train them as kids.
Our goals for the the facilities and museum revolve around the belief in the youth of the program.
