The Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) is an international institution honoring the Native heritage and living cultures of North, Central, and South America, the Caribbean, and Hawai’i. The Community Services department is a cornerstone of the museum's commitment to outreach, providing a vital link between our staff and collections and Native communities across the Western Hemisphere. The Community Services department works with a wide range of individuals, communities, and organizations to promote knowledge and understanding of Native arts, history, languages, and contemporary life, and to offer educational resources to audiences throughout the world, through internships and professional training, radio, and the Internet. “Community Services in Action” is designed to share the work that we do and the events that we are involved in with our constituents in the field. This type of work ranges from workshops and exhibitions to American Indian Heritage Month and other special programs and events. Please return to this page in the upcoming weeks for detailed information on these and other projects.
