Our Nation's Attic

Well, the Smithsonian has again made headline news with another Celebrity Artifact! The newest addition to our newest museum really adds some breadth to the standing collection at NMAI. Now you can go look at the gold record of "YMCA" along side the 50 foot totem pole!

Actually on a more serious note, I applaud NMAI for stepping beyond the bounds of what many more conservative-minded people might accept as part of a museum about native culture. While I don't hope to see the record on display anytime soon, it is important to realize that Native American participate in contemporary American culture as well.

Also, read the article, the picture alone may be worth it.
