Hello! Can anyone suggest places that visitors to Madison might be able to learn more about the Native people and cultures in the area? Any museums or cultural centers...

You could walk the 2.5 mile path of the Lakeshore Nature preserve. They have an interactive map highlighting the 12,000 year human story of the lakeshore. http://lakeshorepreserve.wisc.edu/landscape/nativeamericans_1.htm

Madison is pretty thin as far as museums that extend Native America into the present. Best bet is going to State Historical Society archives, since they are awesome and will pull some incredible stuff for you. WHS is among the best American Indian history collections in the United States. http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/turningpoints/
Prints fit for hanging in a museum. Any printers makers to recommend?

I just had Dickerman Prints in San Francisco do a 5'x5' hi-res print from a 24 k x 24 k pixel image. Incredible detail, and they were great to work with.

This place does a lot of work for museums (printing and framing) around Boston: http://www.digitalsilverimaging.com/ I was very happy with prints I had them do recently. Prices are better than many places I've looked for this sort of quality.
