National Museum of the American Indian

The National Museum of the American Indian envisions a more informed society in which the cultures, histories, achievements, and perspectives of Native peoples are included, valued, and respected.

As part of the Smithsonian Campaign for Our Shared Future, the museum is raising funds to support:

• Sustained stewardship and care of one of the world’s most expansive Indigenous collections, with items spanning the Western Hemisphere from the Artic Circle to Tierra del Fuego.
• Increased outreach and engagement with audiences through the integration of technology and enhanced access to museum resources.
• Expanded reciprocal partnerships with Native and non-Native allies to amplify the perspectives and knowledge of Indigenous peoples.
• Strengthening our endowment to ensure the museum’s financial wellbeing for generations to come.
