Monterey Museum of the American Indian


When I was in Monterey (my daughter goes to college there), I visited the Monterey Museum of the American Indian. It tells the story of Native Americans in the Monterey area through artifacts (I lost my notes, so there will no captions):

















The Monterey Museum of the American Indian is one of the best little museums I have been to, if you are in the area stop on by.

    Wonder what the paints were made from...
    And what it would feel like to run around in those moccasins all day...

    That looks like a cool museum to visit. When we visit my daughter in college, we go to Epcot, The Kennedy Space Center, the beach, or Disney World. Can you guess where she goes to school?

    Nice Indian artifacts. You know, I think it's great that "Native Americans" (the political correct label) aren't ashamed to call themselves Indians. DH & I were talking about this while driving through Cherokee, NC the last time. Every where we looked the word INDIAN was inscribed. When we played Cowboys & Indians as kids, I liked being an Indian princess. lol I love reliving our country's past ~ good or bad because it's there I see the many changes our nation has made. Thanks for sharing your visit at the museum with us on #WW, Patrick!

    I know that Native American's lived in my area of the desert, but there are none around. Where I'm at they are all in the Coachella Valley with their big casinos. The Morongo Indian Casino could match any Vegas one. Oh, and I was just at the library yesterday, and noticed a sign there stating that it's Native American Month.

    Beautiful hand made crafts by the American Indians. Some of the skills, like the basket weaving and beading and the geometric shapes, remind me of African art. Thanks for linking on Amanda's Books and More. Tina - American mom raising 4 kids in South Africa

    I've always admired American Indian-made materials. The skills and craftmanship that go into each item is just wonderful. I would love to see any one of them made in person - or even learn how to make one! Those shoes would be a good start!
