The Native American Exhibit (NAE) is a multimedia presentation that showcases the relationship between the Native American past and its present. We examine their gruesome struggle against exploitation, leading to the great death march of the trail of tears. To their overcoming adversity with production of several fascinating accomplishments in science, aerospace, communication, health care, agriculture, sports, entertainment and art. With their ultimate declared sovereignty, America finally recognizes these mighty people.

THE VISION

NAE vision is to continue to find ways to inspire and motivate young people to achieve their dreams. NAE recognizes and understands that racism has culturally deprived our youth. We believe that once our youth know better they would ultimately do better. By highlighting achievements in history that are not normally taught in school is the key to their success. Utilizing examples of ordinary people making extraordinary contributions to the world gives young people the inspiration that is needed. NAE believes young people need role models that they can identify with so they can see themselves in the big picture and can contribute to it. The vision is to bring these significant contributors out the shadows and towards receiving the recognition they truly deserve. NAE is also a major vehicle in preserving and honoring a segment of history that has been buried or overlooked. 

THE MISSION

Our mission is to develop racial pride, promote racial understanding, and provide a new motivation of learning. To collect, preserve, exhibit and interpret cultural materials which illustrate the achievements and history of Native Americans and Alaska Natives (first inhabitants of North America). NAE is for everyone –all age groups and ethnic backgrounds.  The Museum graciously compliments all science and American history curricula, while promoting positive images in those who seek to learn about the discoveries and challenges of these great Native American men and women.
