The importance of tribal museums
Tribally-run museums offer two important benefits: they offer a Native voice for Native history within a system dominated by traditional European perspectives – and they bring the promise of economic development.
Today on Native America Calling, Shawn Spruce takes us on a field trip to celebrate Tribal Museums Day.
