Be Part of a Historic Moment
Native Americans have participated in every major U.S. military encounter from the Revolutionary War through today’s conflicts in the Middle East, yet they remain unrecognized by any prominent landmark in our nation’s capital. The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian will create that landmark: the National Native American Veterans Memorial. The anticipated dedication of this tribute to Native heroes will be on Veterans Day 2020.
“We invite you to participate in this historic moment— for our country, for veterans, and for the Native American communities whose loyalty and passion have helped make America what it is today.”
—Kevin Gover, Director National Museum of the American Indian
The National Museum of the American Indian is depending on your support to honor and recognize these Native American veterans for future generations.
