User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsThe National Museum of the American Indian has been a long awaited museum for Native People. The museum and it's staff are wonderful to work with and have presented to the public Native People based on their voice. Don't miss spending a lot of time there if you make a trip to Washington, D.C.
User Rating: 5 out of 5 starsExcellent Experience: The architecture was breathtaking. The curves of the building had a flow and distinct natural energy. The exhibits and accompanying captions were brilliant. I recommend this as a must see.

not what we thought: we hoped this would about the history of american indians, but all the stuff we saw was a present day tribute to the different tribes. it was not bad, but we really wanted the history and old time artifacts not a water cooler and gas can from wal-mart - that are really a part of an exhibit

The Museum is not a "history museum", and doesn't bill itself as one. It is a cultural museum, and American Indians are alive and living today. Maybe you had some preconceived notions about American Indian being historic figures... well, that is wrong. There is actually plenty of history on display, just the same. An entire wall of spear points, peace medals... pots dating to the 1800s, and a recent exhibition on dresses has items back into the 1700s.
