The Vine Deloria, Jr. Native Writers Series: American Indian Places September 21, 2008

Join us as we celebrate the 4th anniversary of the NMAI museum in Washington!

Building and landscape tours, book discussion, and book signing. American Indian Places: A Historical Guidebook (Houghton-Mifflin, 2008) is a new, comprehensive book featuring 366 places in the United States that are open to the public and hold significance to Native people. More than 275 Native and non-Native authorities contributed essays about the spaces. Frances H. Kennedy, editor of The Civil War Battlefield Guide, edited the guidebook, and the book royalties will be donated to the NMAI. The afternoon program will include a discussion with some of the contributors and a book signing. Other events include tours of the museum's architecture and outdoor landscape.
