Exhibits include Native American perspectives on historical documents and events that include treaties, Indian Boarding Schools, the Termination Era, the American Indian Movement, and the Indian Child Welfare Act, among many others.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n Those watching are concerned Trump\u2019s directive could permanently alter how those topics are presented to the public. NMAI also develops educational curricula that counters incomplete instruction on historical events, like Thanksgiving. \r\n<p><\/p>\r\nTune into Native America Calling to hear from those who were instrumental in NMAI\u2019s founding, as well as get perspective on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth\u2019s announcement that soldiers that took part in the Wounded Knee Massacre would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8BA5EwsR_rI\">retain their Medals of Honor<\/a>.\r\n<p><\/p>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2025\/10\/01\/native-america-calling-rewriting-the-historical-context-for-native-americans\/nationalmuseumoftheamericanindian-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-243126\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" data-attachment-id=\"243126\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/2025\/10\/01\/native-america-calling-rewriting-the-historical-context-for-native-americans\/nationalmuseumoftheamericanindian-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/indianz.com\/News\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01\/NationalMuseumoftheAmericanIndian.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1536\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"National Museum of the American Indian\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;National Museum of the American Indian&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;A display about Native Americans in the U.S. armed forces is among the many exhibits created by the National Museum of the American Indian, shown here on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.
