Explore a stunning collection of cultural materials from New England tribes. This exhibit represents a unique collaboration between native advisors and the museum's exhibit design team. It builds on 60 years of collaboration between the Museum and native tribes in New England.
The hands-on activities, compelling immersive environments, and evocative artifacts, both old and new provide a great way to learn about how all cultures preserve important values and hand them down from one generation to the next.
The Museum’s extensive permanent collection of 50,000 objects includes 6,000 items representing Native American communities, much of it purchased from contemporary native artists dating back to the 1920s.
The dynamic contrast between old and new – traditional beading on deer skin compared with an elaborately beaded pair of Keds sneakers is part of the charm of this exhibition.
The exhibit will be open at Boston Children's Museum through September 3, 2012 before embarking on a three-year cross-country tour!
