| This museum is quackers!! |
I wanted to learn more about American Indian Culture, so I decided to check out the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C. Most people think of "The Smithsonian" as that red castle, but actually there is more than one Smithsonian Museum. There's way too much American art and history to fit everything in one building, so the Smithsonian Museum is really dozens of buildings in Washington D.C, Virginia, and Maryland. The National Museum of the American Indian is the newest Smithsonian Museum. The museum is dedicated to the languages, literature, history, life, and arts of the Native Americans that live in the Western Hemisphere. It's also the first national museum in the country exclusively dedicated to Native Americans. I think it would be awesome to have a museum dedicated to me!!! That would be quackers.
The Museum is amazing. When you look at the building you can see tributes to Native American culture all through the construction. There's not a straight line or a corner anywhere in it. It was meant to look like the environment in which many Native Americans lived. The museum is made from golden colored Kasota limestone. The limestone is designed to evoke natural rock formations shaped by wind and water over thousands of years. What I really loved about the museum is that it was surrounded by wetlands, pools, water fountains, and there are a lot of really tall grasses growing all over the place!!!! There's even a side of the building where they grow crops! The museum is ducktastic!!!

Oh. Yeah. Probably a good idea. Ask Mrs Fossum in, your next email, because I actually don't know the address. I sorta do but it's not exact.
ReplyDeletewell try to get there on March 29 For our play. Oh and P.S It's Shakespears the Tempest. Oh, you want a description??? WEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL it's about a poor miserable slave who is forced to stay on an island with a cruel old man(just F.Y.I he smells like an old fish). Soon he meets two moon gods that are named Stephanus and Trinculois. They promise to kill the very old master and become the rulers of the island. Trinculois is a little mean thoght and he gets to drink magical drinks. Then they get captured and he's back in slavery. Oh and there's a romance and a plot to kill a king. There too are spirits but that's not important the slave is more important. So coooooooooooooooooooooooome
