Educators face many challenges in figuring out how and what to teach about Native American cultures. One critical element to remember is that Indian cultures and people are still living and thriving in today's world, including at the National Museum of the American Indian. Furthermore, this paper presents three inaugural exhibitions that were developed in consultation with Native communities throughout the Americas. Each of the three exhibitions includes eight different communities that share their philosophies, reflect on their tribal histories, and contribute members' life stories in unique ways. Community members serve as exhibit curators.
