The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian in Washington DC features a concert and festival series each summer promoting Native musicians, films, performers and artists from across the Western Hemisphere. This June the museum hosts the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, the Siletz Tribe of Oregon and the Huíchol Indians of Nayarít, Mexico, during festivals that celebrate each community’s unique music, culture, food and art. In July, the museum’s annual Living Earth Festival coincides with the opening of the exhibition, “Conversations with the Earth: Indigenous Voices on Climate Change.”
