The Center for Indigenous Nations Studies at University of Kansas has added an Indigenous Museum Studies to its program.
Students got some real-world experience in the subject by attending the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C., last week. They said they were pleased with the museum's focus on present-day Native culture.
Back at school, students will work with the University Museum of Anthropology's collection. One student designed a museum for her final project.
