One benefit of being a NMAI staff member is
hearing indigenous knowledge from tribal elders and leaders. Today,
Clyde Bellecourt (Anishinabe) who is a ceremonial leader and one of the
founders of the American Indian Movement, Arlette Loud Hawk (Oglala
Lakota) who is a ceremonial leader, activist and radio host and Russell
Blacksmith (Oglala Lakota) who is a defense attorney and treaty activist
shared stories of creation, treaty rights and activism. Partnerships
like these support the continuance of culture, traditional values, and
transitions in contemporary Native life, which is a part of our NMAI
mission statement.
