Educator's Guide: Native American Art

The goal of this Educator's Guide is to help educators of all disciplines connect the Native American collection in the DIA to their curriculum. Educators will receive a printed copy of the Guide when scheduling a Native American Art tour or talk (for grades 3—12) or when registering their group for a teacher-led visit to the new Native American galleries.
