The museum works close to the native people that live in America today to reaffirm the traditions and beliefs which help todays society understand these great people.

The architecture of the building is amazing and complements the quality of the exhibits it portrays. A onetime US Custom House, it holds a splendid Beaux-Arts design and is right next to the beauty of
