Americans is a stunning digital exhibition created by the
Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian to accompany
the museum's physical exhibition by the same name, which is currently on view
in Washington, D.C. until 2022. Both the digital and physical exhibitions
showcase how "American Indian images, names, and stories infuse American
history and contemporary life." Visitors to the digital exhibition can
explore an immense interactive gallery of advertising, memorabilia, and other images
from American pop culture depicting representations of Native Americans.
Clicking an image brings up a larger view, along with a brief annotation.
Viewers will also find four stories integrated into the gallery: "The
Invention of Thanksgiving," "Queen of America," "The
Removal Act," and "The Indians Win." These stories provide a
more in-depth look at historical figures and events, such as Pocahontas and the
Battle of Little Bighorn, that have taken on lives of their own in American culture.
Americans was co-curated by Comanche author and essayist Paul Chaat
Smith and Cecile R. Ganteaume.
