Our Lives: Collaboration, Native Voice, and the Making of the National Museum of the American Indian - Paperback

by Jennifer A. Shannon (Author)

In 2004 the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) opened to the general public. This book, in the broadest sense, is about how that museum became what it is today. For many Native individuals, the NMAI, a prominent and permanent symbol of Native presence in America, in the shadow of the Capitol and at the center of federal power, is a triumph.
