InSight: Photos and Stories from the Archives
May 23, 2025 – TBD
InSight: Photos and Stories from the Archives features images from the Archives Center at the National Museum of the American Indian. The photos were selected from more than a half million images stewarded by the museum. They give an intimate view of Indigenous lives across the Western Hemisphere and across time. They show everyday moments of joy and quiet reflection. In these images, people attend social gatherings, pose for family photos, and learn from relatives.
Each photo has a story to tell. It is the rich insight shared by Native people that brings these stories to life.
