After years of dispute about how the collections came into existence, many items were returned to their tribes of origin. Remaining pieces are kept in trust at the MAC (Museum of Arts and Cultural) and are not seen. It was a wonderful museum and is sorely missed. klbexploreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294131539793643894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-10118056638198068022014-05-17T09:24:45.149-04:002014-05-17T09:24:45.149-04:00It must have been a great mothers day, and love th...It must have been a great mothers day, and love that last pic with you and Carrie, nice touch.<br />We did go to the NMAI and your photos are great.

Sadly it was not finished when I was transferred so it remains one of the few museums in DC I have not visited. I will have to make it a priority whenever we get back in the area again. <br /><br />You certainly had a wonderful day with Carrie. Its so nice to see your loving relationship that is so strong. I feel sad for many people we know that are estranged from their children.

I was able to eat vegan, he had a bison burger. Afterwards, I was raring to go. He said he felt like he had eaten a brick. (We had been eating vegan at home for several months. This was his first red meat since then. He has had none since.) <br /><br />For some reason, the last time we went, I spent a good deal of time looking at all of the rifles. It was a fascinating display, but also quite saddening. <br /><br />We're heading up at the end of the month to go to GreenFest in D.C. You will probably be gone from the<br />area by then, but would love to meet up if you are still there.

It is so nice to see such a place that pays homage to our wonderful home, Mother Earth, in true keeping with the Native American traditions. What a fitting tribute for you and Mother Earth both on Mother's Day!! <br /><br />SuzanneSuzannehttp://www.taketothehighway.comnoreply@blogger.com
