A country, a region, a belief, a people proud of the truth will always stand the test of time. Although colonialism can force people to behave its way, it cannot completely change people's minds. Until September 21, 2004, the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) was open to the public. Founded in 1916, in New York City, the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian is located on a symbolically significant site on the National Mall, near the U.S. Capitol, and is in a very impressive building. I have been to this museum twice and I think this museum is a very special museum, I don't think it is a typical history or anthropology museum, but it is a mature museum developing close to the public. I was amazed by the flawless symbolic architecture and every exhibit in this museum. After the visit I have the desire and curiosity to know the history of museums, the concept of management and their evolving path. This museum is the first national museum in the country dedicated exclusively to Native Americans/Indigenous Peoples. This museum talks about hope, the present and somehow the future, it proudly shows that the nations/tribes still exist. Prior to designing the museum's architecture, museum committees and museum architectural consultants seek the opinions of both North and South Americans. The architecture maintains "balance and harmony", almost all Indian cultures believed that each mountain had a soul, every tree, every rock, every living creature, and the Great Spirit flowed through everything, keeping nature and humanity in perfect balance. And I must say that the building itself is already a “Native Place” for me. A “Different Museum”,...... middle of paper... food. They also made traditional Indian cornbread, because cornbread was created and harvested by early Indians before the settlement of Europeans in North America. American Indians have used ground corn for their meals and flour for centuries. I think that after visiting the exhibitions, resting and having a meal in this café to continue learning about food culture is a relaxed and informed part of visiting a museum. Native viewers describe this museum as a "vehicle" to bring educational messages to the American public, something the tribes alone cannot do. Overall, the museum as a civic and social space is, without a doubt, a new and vital direction for the NMAI. It is a thought-provoking museum that raises the question of the identity of Native Americans past, present and future. They treated the land with respect. Wonderful art by talented natives.
