Mission: Piankeshaw Trails Educational Park, Inc. mission is to educate the public, particularly youth regarding the preservation of the history and culture of Native American Indian Nations of the region. This is accomplished through the use of mobile museum programs referred to as “outreach presentations” for schools, libraries, cultural centers and special events.  Specifically, the mission is to  preserve the Native American Indian cultural history by passing it on to youth through hands on interactive programs following the IDOE Academic Standards for Social Studies in line with such core segments based on documented museum/archival research regarding pre-contact cultures, the early historic period and settlement periods in Indiana/Wabash region.

The Mission is also to combine skills and artistry of Natives, professionals historians and scholars whenever possible with community involvement  in such areas as Native American Indian Woodland Dwellings; use of plants for cordage, textiles, food and medicine; identification and characteristics of native animal species as sources of food and furs in ancient times as a case is made for preservation of such species today;  comparison of processing plants for use as textiles to that of hide tanning; role playing using reproduction artifacts as props and period clothing to further illustrate economic and political issues, daily life, and ethnic diversity that dominated the age of exploration along the Wabash in the 17th-19th centuries. Piankeshaw is also concerned with environmental stewardship and will incorporate such messages into programs whenever possible.
