Infinity of Nations

The vast array of Native cultures found across North and South America is staggering, and attempting to provide a general overview might seem impossible. This interactive "culture quest" created by the National Museum of the American Indian allows visitors young and old to learn about such cultures. First-timers might start by visiting the object gallery, which contains dozens of headdresses, clothing items, cookware, and more contemporary pieces from Native artists. Each object contains a narrative essay, along with photos and additional information. Visitors shouldn't miss the kultrung, which is a hand drum created by the Mapuche Indians of Peru. Moving on, the Culture Quest is a great way to travel to a variety of regions throughout both continents on a cultural excursion. Visitors will gain knowledge about each Native nation, its environment, and an object from its history. For each activity they complete, visitors earn a badge. It's a fun way for young people to learn, and it's also quite creative.
