C S Now: t L August 19, 2004 Indian museum seeks balance of historical and contemporary WASHINGTON (AP) -The newest Smithsonian mu seum is gathering ancient ce ramics, intricate beadwork and modern art to illustrate the past and present of Native peoples spread across the Western Hemisphere for some 20,000 years. "It's a set of cultures with a deep past, but at the same time communities that are thoroughly contemporary - they're here right now too," said museum director W. Richard West Jr. "There are 30 to 40 million Native people living in the West ern Hemisphere." When the National Museum of the American Indian opens Sept. 21, it will seek to give the appropriate weight to injustices suffered at the hands of white settlers - but will not make that the focus of a history that sweeps over millennia. "The truth is what it is," said West, who is of Southern Chey enne extraction. "The history between Native Americans and Euro-Americans has been quite tragic. We do not propose to skirt that tragedy." But, he said, the museum will show "so much good and so much positive along with the tragedy."

Now: $9,795 - that we have a rich history and culture, and it's still alive and well," said Kathy Wesley Kitcheyan, chairwoman of San Carlos Apache in Arizona, after a recent tour. The five-story museum took the last remaining spot on the grassy National Mall between the Capitol and the Washington Monument - a four-acre site at the foot of Capitol Hill. It is the first new museum on the Mall since the National Museum of African Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, for Asian art, opened together in 1987. Indian museum curator Gerald McMaster expects 5 million visitors a year. Exhibits will include ancient artifacts, such as a 2,000-year-old ceramic jaguar clutching a man between its paws, as well as works from modern Indian artists George Morrison and Allan Houser. Other exhibits will focus on the lives of Indians today, touching on the highs and lows. For many Indians, wealth gen erated by casinos has increased living standards. But Indians still suffer from higher poverty rates than the national average, and from higher rates of diseases such as diabetes, respiratory in fections and alcoholism.

The "three sisters" of Ameri can Indian agriculture - corn, beans and squash - will also be planted. The exterior, made from Kasota limestone quarried from Minnesota, is rounded to reflect the curves of the earth, sun and moon. The inside of the mu seum also emphasizes curved features, with a skylight topping off a series of narrowing con centric circles that make up the building's ceiling. Crystal prisms facing south will reflect sunlight through the museum, and a "Welcome Wall" will greet visi tors with 200 native words, all meaning welcome. This is not the first national Indian museum, but it will be the biggest and most prominent. The museum will open its doors with 8,000 objects filling five major exhibitions. That represents only 1 per cent of the Smithsonian's 800,000 objects, which are in storage at the museum's Cultural Resources Center in Suitland, Md. Those items range from a 45-foot, 19th century totem pole from an island off the coast of Alaska, to 11,000-year-old Clovis spear points. World of Treasures Inc.
