New York City Local Custom Tips by eden_teuling

OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN HAS A NEW EXHIBITION SIDE, THE George Heye Center
is dedicated to the protection, support, development and perpetuation of native cultures and communities.

The Museum is located in the Alexandr Hamilton U.S.Customs House in NYCity and by now it will be on the Mall in Washinton DC....

The goal is to give all Americans an opportunity to understand and appreciate Native American culture - past, present and future..

The museum has acquired the finest collection of American Indian artifacts in the whole world!

At last (they say) we will see the American Indians as they see themselves.......

Let's hope this is true but according to some documentaries on television I doubt if a lot has been chnged for the better for these Peopld whom we "white" men have killed and "put away".......out of sight, out of mind ????

This MEMORIAL is the largest mausoleum in America, rising to an imposing 150 feet from a bluff overlooking the Hudson River.

Building it was en enormous job: hundreds of men worked on the structure between 1891 - 1897, using 8,000 tons of granite.

It is a way to express the profound admirations americans felt for the CIVIL WAR general.
