American Artifacts Preview: The National Museum of the American Indian
Full program airs on Sunday, November 9 at 6 pm Eastern on CSPAN 3.
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian opened in 2004 on the National Mall in Washington, DC. We visit the “Nation to Nation” exhibit, focusing on treaties between the United States and Native Americans. Curator Suzan Shown Harjo explains that in the late 1700s the fledgling federal government made treaties with both the Muskogee and Six Nations of the Iroquois. She also describes how the relationship between the government and native people has both changed and endured.

The National Museum of the American Indian is part of the Smithsonian Institution and is dedicated to the life, languages, literature, history, and arts of the Native Americans of the Western Hemisphere. It has three facilities: the National Museum of the American Indian on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., which opened on September 21, 2004, on Fourth Street and Independence Avenue, Southwest; the George Gustav Heye Center, a permanent museum in New York City; and the Cultural Resources Center, a research and collections facility in Suitland, Maryland. The foundations for the present collections were first assembled in the former Museum of the American Indian in New York City, which was established in 1916, and which became part of the Smithsonian in 1990.
The indigenous peoples of the Americas are the descendants of the pre-Columbian inhabitants of North and South America. Pueblos indígenas (indigenous peoples) is a common term in Spanish-speaking countries.

Indigenous peoples are commonly known in Canada as Aboriginal peoples, which include First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. Indigenous peoples of the United States are commonly known as Native Americans or American Indians, and Alaska Natives.

Washington, DC -- Capital of the United States of America, heart and center of the Land of Liberty. The city is a reflection of the country's history, achievements and aspirations. On the National Mall are some of America's finest monuments and memorials -- each a reminder of the ideals that our country stands for, and the men and women who fought for them.
The Washington Monument, Thomas Jefferson Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and the newest -- Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial - honor leaders and ideals of American freedom, democracy and equality. The World War 2, Korean War and Vietnam War Memorials pay tribute to the men and women who have paid the ultimate price for America's freedom.
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States.
