NOTE: where a museum is general, we cut to the chase -- that part of its Native collection that's on-line. Most official on-line museums (as opposed to those created by devoted amateurs, such as Nicolas Pioch) are more talk than pix, especially for their Indian collections.

This Path We Travel--One of just a few Indian pix from the new Smithsonian, actually taken from a book/catalog.
