The National Museum of the American Indian is a good way for families and children to learn more about Native American culture, The Washington Post says.
Children of all ages can enjoy different parts of the museum, from the exhibitions to the cafe. For those seeking information about their Native heritage, the resource center can point people in the right direction.
The Smithsonian is putting on various events for National American Indian Heritage Month. Plays, dances and demonstrations are planned throughout the month at the NMAI and at other Smithsonian institutions.
