NMAI ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING #1:AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURES
Tribal leaders, cultural figures, and other interesting and accomplished Native individuals introduce themselves and say a little about their lives and work. Together their responses illustrate the diversity of the indigenous communities of the Western Hemisphere, as well as their shared concerns, and offer insights beyond what’s in the news to the ideas and experiences of Native people today. —Dennis Zotigh
