The Morris
Museum is home to a wide variety of ethnographic materials
representing numerous American Indian tribes throughout the
United States. This gallery dedicated to our Native People
exhibits some of the finest artifacts from North America,
housed in color-coded cases to assist visitors in developing
a geographic context for the pieces on display.
Visitors
can examine bead and quill work, pottery, carving, basketry
and textiles from the Northeast Woodlands, the Southwest,
the American Plains, and the Pacific Northwest Coast, including
an array of artifacts from the Captain William Philo Clark
Collection.
