 The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.; New York; and Suitland, Maryland, amply demonstrates that Native American history and culture are part of the shared cultural heritage of all Americans. This program spotlights cherished items in the museum’s collection—including perhaps the oldest depictions of human beings in the Western hemisphere. Go behind the scenes to the museum’s storage facility where artifacts are arranged by tribe and given traditional-style care. A viewable/printable educator’s guide is available online. (28 minutes)
