| Abstract | Douglas Evelyn describes the National Museum of the American Indian as “an international institution of living cultures.” It is a place where contemporary Native voices introduce visitors to new ways of thinking about Native American history and cultures and where exhibits challenge popular stereotypes of a “generic Native American.” In considering how successfully the NMAI’s new galleries meet these objectives, I focus on the “Our Peoples” and “Our Universes” galleries. It is in the former gallery that the vitality and complexity of Native American experiences are most effectively conveyed, and in the latter that the delivery of these messages falters. |
