Smithsonian: National Museum of the American Indian
This is the official site of the newest Smithsonian -- the Museum of the American Indian. Students can explore the museum through four different sections: "Our Lives" explores stories of indigenous people -- their cultural integrity and their traditional arts. "Our Peoples" explores their history. "Our Universes" explores their philosophies of life. "Native Modernism" explores the work of George Morrison and Allan Houser. The Museum building itself is a work of art. There are exterior and interior pictures to give students a good idea of the architecture. Although the site does not showcase a large collection of art pieces, there are some pictures that give visitors a good idea of the exhibition.
