"Housed in a former customs house at the southern tip of Manhattan, the National Museum of the American Indian is dedicated to preserving and sharing the histories of the more than 1,200 indigenous cultures of the Americas. The collection includes beaded and feathered ceremonial objects, traditional works of art made out of carved wood and bone, exquisitely detailed clothing, and everyday items like baskets, pottery, and instruments, as well as photographs and other archival materials." - Andrea Whittle, Charlie Hobbs
