With over 40,000 cultural objects in our collections and expertise from more than 500 global scholars and Indigenous thinkers, our Research Pillar informs all that we do at Amerind from exhibits to public programing. Our collections are growing in impactful ways, such as the Vander Wagen Family Collection–over 10,000 jewelry items that share the story of 100 years of Zuni and Navajo artistry and tradition. Your gift to the Research Pillar builds on museum collections, research library, museum exhibits, educational programs and outreach, and scholarly discoveries in the vast human story.
