| Publisher Description: The Smithsonian Institution's new National Museum of the American Indian is dedicated to the preservation, study, and exhibition of the life, languages, literature, history, and arts of Native Americans. Spanning more than ten thousand years, the one million objects in the museum's collections represent the extraordinary scope of Indian life in the Americas. From ancient stone points to contemporary Indian paintings, these objects make vividly clear the diversity and vigorous creativity of Native cultures from the Arctic to the southern tip of South America. |
