President Trump's executive order mandates changes to the Smithsonian's displays, aiming to remove content deemed 'divisive, race-centered ideology'. This order puts pressure on institutions like the National Museum of the American Indian, which is known for its commitment to presenting authentic indigenous narratives and promoting inclusive history.

President Trump's executive order directs the removal of what it calls 'divisive, race-centered ideology' from Smithsonian institutions, including the National Museum of the American Indian, challenging the museum's mission of honoring and preserving indigenous cultural history.

The Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian partnered with Apple and the Sundance Institute to host a film conversation event featuring Indigenous leaders and creatives. The event highlighted Native American history and culture, reinforcing the museum's role as a critical hub for indigenous storytelling and preservation.

The National Museum of the American Indian announced a fundraising campaign under the Smithsonian Campaign for Our Shared Future to support stewardship of its Indigenous collections, enhance outreach and technology integration, and expand partnerships with Native and non-Native allies. The initiative aims to strengthen the museum’s financial sustainability while advancing equity and social justice for Indigenous peoples.
