NYC’s American Museum of Natural History Closing Two Halls Featuring Native American Artifacts
New York Daily News | January 26, 2024 | Leonard GreeneNew York’s venerable American Museum of Natural History and leading institutions across the country are shutting down major exhibits of Native American artifacts in response to new federal regulations limiting the display of cultural items.
Under the guidelines announced recently by the Biden administration, museums must obtain permission from Native American tribes before displaying or performing research on cultural items, many of which were donated generations ago by archeologists who had stolen them after digging up sacred burial grounds.
The policy led the museum to close two exhibits — the Hall of the Great Plains, which includes jewelry, tools and weapons from the Cree, Cheyenne, Assiniboine, and Crow tribes, and the Eastern Woodlands exhibit, which features items from the Iroquois, Mohegans, Ojibwas and Crees.
The closures go into effect Saturday. The exhibits will be closed to visitors and staff.

Native American Spokesman: “We want to make it clear also that we have no problem with the LGHDTV Community.”
Nice to see them erasing Native American history.
The party of tolerance, acceptance, and inclusions solution to the problems of Native Americans: Pretend they didn’t exist and trick them into thinking it’s to their benefit. Couldn’t they at least name the treaty after Brandon and maybe give them some blankets?
Some with Covid cooties.
Yeah…well I know a Lorne Greene that would have a Bonanza with this…( Good Canadian Boy there)…
Many of the problems among Native Americans today can be traced back to somebody else treating them like children, doing things “for their own good.” So, no sports teams, no museums, no, no, no. So are they not good enough or too good for what everyone else takes for granted? I’m honored to have my history in a museum. They are oppressed. Eventually, they are forgotten.
Next week: “Hey, this museum is all cowboys, no Indians. That’s racist!”
