National Museum of the American Indian: Collections Search

The National Museum of the American Indian has thousands of items in its holdings, and this website provides a representative sample of their object and historic photo collections. First-time visitors can get started by using the Explore Collection Highlights area on the homepage. This area includes fantastic examples of contemporary Native American jewelry, historic bear masks, and photographs from eastern Canada taken by noted photographer Frederick Johnson. Also, visitors can use the Search feature to look around topical areas such as Peoples/Cultures, Places, and Object Specifics. The perfect entry point here is really the Explore section, which includes a featured item, like the remarkable dance staff from the Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux tribe. It's worth noting that many of the items include their original catalog cards, many of which date to the early 1900s. For those persons with an interest in Native American history, culture, and art, this website will be indispensable.
