Debbie & Brian Travels...National Museum of the American Indian


Today we visited the National Museum of the American Indian. Of the four tribal regions, North, South, East, and West, the Hawaiian canoe represents the West.

The bronze sculpture to the right is called "Allies in War, Partners in Peace". George Washington and the American Indians.

The American Indians produced extraordinary wealth such as corn and gold.

Brian, Debbie, Ann Kawasaki (Smithsonian Museum Librarian - originally from Hilo) and Milton.

Indian saying..."they may have cut our sacred trees but they did not destroy are roots".
