ArtHistoryClosed · Opens 10amFreeL'Enfant Plaza (Metro)

המוזיאון, שנפתח ב-2004 כמוזיאון הלאומי הראשון המוקדש כולו לעמים הילידיים, שוכן במבנה בן חמש קומות מאבן גיר מסוג Kasota שעיצב Douglas Cardinal (Blackfoot) כך שייראה כאילו עוצב בידי הרוח והמים. כל תערוכה ב-National Museum of the American Indian מבית ה-Smithsonian מפותחת בשיתוף פעולה הדוק עם קהילות ילידיות ומנקודת מבטן, ומסתמכת על אוסף של כ-800,000 פריטים מרחבי היבשת כולה. בין נקודות הציון הבולטות: תערוכת ההסכמים והאמנות Nation to Nation, המבט הביקורתי על ייצוגי ילידים בתרבות הפופולרית בתערוכה Americans, ואתר ההנצחה הפתוח National Native American Veterans Memorial. בית הקפה Mitsitam Native Foods Cafe מגיש מנות ילידיות מסורתיות מרחבי האזור ומהווה חוויה קולינרית בפני עצמה.
