Self-Representation Through Architecture at the National Museum of the American Indian

mccoy1.jpg

The National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) is the first national museum funded, planned, and curated by Native people. This allowed for Native voices to be at the forefront of every aspect of the NMAI, notably the architecture of the building. Through conversations with Native people and the inclusion of Native values, such as nature and stewardship of the land, the architecture of the National Museum of the American Indian is the initial site of self-representation in this institution.
