               The Museum Of The American Indian

             The online resource that I chose to review was The National Museum of TheAmerican Indian. There are 3 locations to this Museum. The 1^st is located in Washington D.C. the 2^nd is in New York City.  The 3^rd is in Suitland Maryland.  The insert from the Web explains the Washington exhibit states “The National Museum of the American Indian houses one of the world’s largest and most diverse collections of its kind. The museum’s sweeping curvilinear architecture, its indigenous landscaping, and its exhibitions, all designed in collaboration with tribes and communities from across the hemisphere, combine to give visitors from around the world the sense and spirit of Native America.”

                The Museum is an active part of the Smithsonian Institute. It contains one of the world’s biggest collection of Native artifacts. The museum was founded by George Gustav Heye and the current director is Kevin Gover. Mr. Gover is part of the Pawnee and Comanche tribes. He became director in December of 2007.

                The Museum has a variety of events for educators and students. These events are spread over the entire year. The Museum offers different workshops for both students and teachers in exciting ways to make the learning fun. There is also a variety of films and media online from the film festival that was held in past years.   

                The Museum sounds like a very interesting place to visit to learn about different Native American tribes. I would like to take my kids to this place someday for not only them to learn but also me.
