Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian (Native Americans, First Nations) 

thank you so much ariel for this tour :) very interesting museum and i could easily spend at least 2 hours in there as one of my favorite ways to spend a vacation when visiting such places!

I am Cree First Nation from Poundmaker Saskatchewan Canada. Was outside but was too early to enter the building. Wuffaa.

Good tour Ariel. Thanks for sharing these tours.

Urbanist Exploring Cities good job on your RU-vid videos and keep it up.

From the loud voices in the museum, you're the only one whispering and observing decorum.🤔

great tour! ty, ariel

Visited this museum when my kids were small. It was AMAZING. Looking forward to a return visit.

Thank you for sharing. This was dope & very touching to see.

I am mixed Cherokee/Shawnee and enrolled Eastern Shawnee of Oklahoma. I know we prefer to be called by our tribe if you know it, but I hear Indian thrown around, Native, indigenous. People put to much weight in a word. If tou come at me respectful I will do the same I will never let a word hurt me, it all about approaching with a good heart or respect.

Thank you for uploading this. I am writing a research paper using this museum as a case study and I am unable to visit the museum in person.

dang! where is all the artifacts they took from us?

I found the website too. Awesome!

Will you visit the African American museum? This one was very intriguing.

I feel like I've just teleported to where you are. Traveling without moving. How awesome! Thank you!

Very very nice.

Do the Native Americans have a say on this? They consented and all?

The crimes against the native communities were some of the worst in history and till this day not enough has been done to make it better. I understand native Americans prefer to be named that way or by their tribes name, but a lot don’t like american indian and it’s very understandable why. One thing I don’t get is why “Americans” call african americans even if they and their previous generations were born in the country just because some generation ago they came from Africa, same for asians. If this is what they want, then white americans should be called european americans since some generation came from that continent because they are not native Americans. Or they decide that everybody born in the country is american and then there is native americans the native people of the land or everybody but including european americans are called by their ancestry to the original continent they came from. What doesn’t make sense to me is how european descents aka white skin feel more entitled, their arrival to the future United States isn’t that apart in terms of time in the first place.

Y TRY TO LEARN

whitewashed

Not indians

BORING

Real Native Americans were black. Esquimaux (Eskimo) $5 Indians came later.
