A new permanent exhibit opened recently at the Museum of Northern Arizona in Flagstaff, Arizona. “Native Peoples of the Colorado Plateau” displays the stories of 10 tribes of the Colorado Plateau: Zuni, Acoma, Southern Ute, Southern Paiute, Hopi, Havasupai, Hualapai, Diné (Navajo), Yavapai and Dilzhe’e Apache.
With more than 350 objects selected by 42 tribal consultants, this exhibition reflects native histories, values and cultures.
The museum, situated at the base of the San Francisco Peaks, was founded in 1928 to protect and preserve the natural and cultural heritage of northern Arizona through research, collections, conservation and education. The organization has evolved into a regional center of learning with educational programs, publications and research projects.
