miz molly 1,800 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Quote from Kim Laflamme: Dear Kim LA Flamme,55% of people in a recent survey said that the future plans of the National Museum of the American Indian should prioritize dispelling myths about Native people.The Museum works every day to tell the Native story in a Native voice, and in doing so, we’re dispelling myths about Native people as a remnant of this country’s past.With your help, we’re also correcting the fallacies of long-told tales and figures – and we’re telling the world about people and events that have been largely omitted from history. Please make a contribution today in support of our important work in 2014 and beyond.Your support will help people today realize that Native people and cultures have shaped all of our lives. We’ll bring this more accurate story to people across the nation through our thought-provoking exhibitions and events, world-renowned collection of more than 825,000 priceless Native artifacts, Museums in Washington, D.C. and New York City and our Cultural Resources Center in Maryland, and outreach to classrooms nationwide.And in 2014 we’ll also be celebrating a year of anniversaries for the Museum. This year marks 10 years of our flagship Museum on the National Mall, the 20th anniversary of the opening of our Museum in New York City, and 25 years since the signing of the legislation establishing the Museum.But none of what we aim to accomplish in the coming year is possible without the support of individuals like you across the nation. Make a contribution to the Museum now to show that you stand with us in making sure the Native story is told in an authentic Native voice.I look forward to where our passion, vision and commitment will lead us.Sincerely,Kevin Gover (Pawnee)DirectorClick here to unsubscribe.
